Eagles, Lyin' Eyes (1975)
Key: :[G#] (w: Don Henley, Glenn Frey)
INTRO: [G#] [G#maj7] [C#] [A#m] [D#7] [G#]
VERSE 1:
[G#] City girls just
[G#maj7] seem to find out
[C#] early,
[A#m] how to open doors with just a
[D#] smile
A
[G#] rich old man and
[G#maj7] she won't have to
[C#] worry
She'll
[A#m] dress up all in
[C#] lace and go in
[G#] style
VERSE 2:
[G#] Late at night, a
[G#maj7] big old house gets
[C#] lonely,
I guess
[A#m] every form of refuge has its
[D#] price
And it
[G#] breaks her heart to
[G#maj7] think her love is
[C#] only
Given
[A#m] to a man with
[C#] hands as cold as
[G#] ice
[A#m7] [D#7]
VERSE 3:
So she
[G#] tells him she must
[G#maj7] go out for the
[C#] evening
To
[A#m] comfort an old friend who's feeling
[D#] down
But he
[G#] knows where she's
[G#maj7] goin' as she's
[C#] leavin'.
She's
[A#m] headed for the
[C#] cheatin' side of
[G#] town
[D#7] [G# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[G#] hide
[C#/G#] your lyin'
[G#] eyes ^
[C#/G#] [G#]
And your
[Fm] smile
[Cm] is a thin dis-
[A#m]-guise
[D#7]
I thought by
[G#] now
[F#] you'd real-
[C#]-ize
[A#7]
There
[A#m] ain't no way to
[D#] hide those lying
[G#] eyes.
[G#maj7] [C#] [A#m] [D#7] [G#]
VERSE 4:
On the
[G#] other side of
[G#maj7] town a boy is
[C#] waiting
with
[A#m] firey eyes and dreams no one could
[D#] steal
She
[G#] drives on through the
[G#maj7] night antici-
[C#]-pating
Cause he
[A#m] makes her feel the
[C#] way she used to
[G#] feel
[C#] [D#7]
VERSE 5:
She
[G#] rushes to his
[G#maj7] arms they fall to-
[C#]-gether
She
[A#m] whispers that its only for a
[D#7] while
She
[G#] says that soon she'll be
[G#maj7] coming back for-
[C#]-ever
She
[A#m] pulls away and
[C#] leaves him with a
[G#] smile
[D#7] [G# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[G#] hide
[C#/G#] your lyin'
[G#] eyes ^
[C#/G#] [G#]
And your
[Fm] smile
[Cm] is a thin dis-
[A#m]-guise
[D#7]
I thought by
[G#] now
[F#] you'd real-
[C#]-ize
[A#7]
There
[A#m] ain't no way to
[D#] hide those lying
[G#] eyes.
[G#maj7] [C#] [A#m] [D#7] [G#]
VERSE 6:
[G#] She gets up and
[G#maj7] pours herself a
[C#] strong one
And
[A#m] stares out at the stars up in the
[D#7] sky
An-
[G#]-other night, it's
[G#maj7] gonna be a
[C#] long one.
She
[A#m] draws the shade and
[C#] hangs her head to
[G#] cry
[A#m7] [D#7]
VERSE 7:
She
[G#] wonders how it
[G#maj7] ever got this
[C#] crazy.
She
[A#m] thinks about a boy she knew in
[D#7] school
Did
[G#] she get tired or
[G#maj7] did she just get
[C#] lazy?
She's
[A#m] so far gone, she
[C#] feels just like a
[G#] fool
VERSE 8:
[G#] My, oh my, you
[G#maj7] sure know how to ar-
[C#]-range things.
You
[A#m] set it up so well, so careful-
[D#7]-ly
Ain't it
[G#] funny how your
[G#maj7] new life didn't
[C#] change things.
You're
[A#m] still the same old
[C#] girl you used to
[G#] be
[D#7] [G# open]
CHORUS:
You can't
[G#] hide
[C#/G#] your lyin'
[G#] eyes ^
[C#/G#] [G#]
And your
[Fm] smile
[Cm] is a thin dis-
[A#m]-guise
[D#7]
I thought by
[G#] now
[F#] you'd real-
[C#]-ize
[A#7]
There
[A#m] ain't no way to
[D#] hide those lying
[G#] eyes
[G#maj7]
There
[A#m] ain't no way to
[D#] hide those lying
[G#] eyes
[G#maj7]
[A#m] Honey you cant
[D#] hide your lyin
[G#] eyes
[G#maj7] [A#m] [D#] [G# open]
