I Can't Tell You Why Eagles
I can't tell you why
(The Eagles)
This is the best I could do:
[Dmaj7]Look at us baby up all night [Gmaj7]tearing our love apart
[Dmaj7]Aren't we the same two people who lived through [Gmaj7]years in the dark?[F#7sus4] [F#7]
[Bm]Every time I try to [A/B]walk away [Gmaj7]something makes me turn a[F#7sus4]round and[F#7] stay
[Bm]And I can't tell you [A/B]why.[G] [F#m7]
[Dmaj7]When we get crazy it just ain't right [Gmaj7]girl I get lonely too
[Dmaj7]You don't have to worry just hold on tight [Gmaj7] 'cause[F#7sus4] I love y[F#7]ou.
[Bb]Nothing's wrong as far as [A/B]I can see [Gmaj7]we make it harder then it [F#7sus4]has to b[F#7]e
And [Bm]I can't tell you [A/B]why no baby
[Gmaj7]I can't tell [F#7sus4]you why.[F#7]....
Dmaj7 x x 0 2 2 2

Improvements and suggestions are very welcome.
=====================================================================
Here is the tablature for the Eagle's "I Can't Tell You Why" Or at least as
close as I could get it. If anyone finds any errors in this, please email
me and let me know.I've found that this is a really good song to do not only
"electrified" as it was originally done, but also as an "unplugged" version.
The possibilities are endless.
This is the lead part that Don plays in the middle of the song.

In the original studio recording, it just keeps repaeating the last few bars and
fades out. However, on the Eagle's live album and on "Hell Freezes Over," the
song ends with a little ditty like this at the end...
|-7-7-----------10-| |-8-7-7--------7---| |-----7-7-7---7----| |-------7-9--9-----| |------------------| |------------------|
