I saw Life in the Fast Lane by the Eagles in the Nevada site, but it was a incomplete. I took the opening riff from the Nevada site, I have no idea if the riff is correct. The chords and lyrics follow the riff material. Enjoy! Since, this is my first post please post or email any suggestions on how to improve this post. Thanks From Nevada: =============================================================================== Here is what I think the intro to Life in the Fast Lane (by the Eagles) is: E--------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------- G-----2---0--------------------2---0---------- D-0^2---2---2p0------------0^2---2---2p0------ A---------------0------------------------0---- E-----------------3-0----------------------3-- E---------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------- G-----2---0---------------2---0---------- D-0^2---2---2p0-------0^2---2---2p0------ A---------------0-------------------0---- E-----------------3-0-----------------3-- The difference between the two above riffs is that the first has a break in it (the big space) and the second is continuous. =============================================================================== CHORDS: E A7 B7 D C A ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ::1||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||1| |||||| :2|||| ||2|1| |===== |||1|2 ||2||| ||321| 3||||| |||||| ||2|1| ||||3| |3|||| |||||| E He was a hard headed man. He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty. She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the A7 heart of the cold, cold city. He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude. E B7 They said he was ruthless; they said he was crude. They had one thing A7 in common; they were good in bed. She'd say, "Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red." E Tacet E Tacet E Tacet Life in the fast lane surely make you lose your mind. Life in the E Tacet fast lane, mmmm. Are you with me so far? E Eager for action and hot for the game, the coming attraction, the drop of a name. They knew all the right people; they took all the right pills. They threw outrageous parties; they paid heavily bills. A7 E There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face. She pretended not B7 to notice; she was caught up in the race. Out every evening until it A7 was light, he was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight about it. E Tacet E Tacet E Tacet Life in the fast lane; everything all the time. Life in the fast lane, E Tacet uh huh. E Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst, they didn't see the stop sign; took a turn for the worst. She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine ring. We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen A7 a god-dam thing." He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash. E The doctor says he's coming; but you gotta pay him cast." They went B7 A7 rushin' down that freeway; messed around and got lost. They didn't know they were just dying to get off. E D/E And it was life in the fast lane, C/E A/E life in the fast lane.
