                       In The City
                       (The Eagles)
      (Chords added by Andy Citron, Citron@vnet.ibm.com)
      (Words gotten from the Guitar Archive)


E E E A D                 A    E

         Somewhere out on that horizon

         Out beyond the neon lights

         I know there must be something better
         D                   E       A             E        D
         But there's nowhere else in sight.     Wo-oh-oh-oh


         It's survival in the city, children

         When you live from day to day

         City streets don't have much pity, no
                     E                     A
         When you're down that's where you stay

A        D/A   E/A         D/A     E    A
               IN THE CITY
                                              G   D  A  E
               IN THE CITY

         Guitar solo

         I was born here in the city

         With my back against the wall

         Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty

         No-one's there to catch you when you fall


         Somewhere out on that horizon

         Far away from the neon sky

         I know there must be something, must be something better

         And I can't stay another night


         Repeat IN The City, then end

	this song was indeed written by joe walsh and it was originally a joe walsh solo song written and performed for a movie released in the late 1970's called "The Warriors". the movie is about gang life in New York City in the 70's and focuses mainly on a gang from Coney Island. the "neon lights" refer to the bright lights from all the carnival games and rides, most notably the Wonder Wheel ferris wheel and the Cyclone roller coaster that are Coney Island landmarks. i suggest you watch the movie to really understand what the song's talking about... once you see it you can clearly understand what joe's talking about. plus, it's a bad ass movie... one of my favorites.
