As this is quite a long song, I'll start the ball rolling with the
intro riff


 
 key:                                                                           the songs a little tricky but 
                                                                             practice makes perfect!!the chord 
b = bend up                                                                  progression is kind of simple!!!!   
r = release bend
/ = slide up

E---------------------------------------------------

The last A chord is where the other instruments come in

He carries on playing this riff while the slide guitar etc play
other stuff


Then after 8 or 16 bars the acoustic guitar comes in with :

E---5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--0-0-0-0----
B---6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1-0-0h1--
G---5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---4-4-4--2-2-0-0h2--
D---
A---
E---

Then a little lead in on the electric:

E--
B--
G--
D------0-2-3---
A---3----------
E--


And the singing starts here!



F C/E Dm C F C/E Dm C

(repeat once)

then:

G FaddG C G   C G      C   G

G FaddG C G   C  G/B    A

The words over the last C G/B  A are "Life's been good to me so
far"

Then it goes back to F C/E Dm etc


Shapes:

EADGBE     EADGBE   EADGBE
xx3213     x20003   xx2010

 FaddG       G/B     C/E

I think you know the others....


Hope this gets you started- the rest of the song is mostly repeats
and variations on these bits i.e the intro riff, acoustic chords
and the main body of the song (the bit above with the chords)

Hope y'all enjoy

	awesome song...by the way, in the Eagles, everybody could sing. u ever look at the albums? by all of their names it says: vocals. yea he sung some songs for them, but so did don henley and others

	Hehe, a satirical look at...himself. Classic. What a character. Anyone who can poke fun at themselves in a song is truly looking at things objectively. Go Joe

	I love this song, the music is awesome, and it has really funny lyrics. The lyrics arent as happy as you might think, though. It basically shows the life of a regular rockstar in a different light. He hasn't changed, just everybody and everything else, according to him. So he is basically just living his life, which has been good to him. Now in reality, we would see him as a party hard rockstar who spends his money on useless things ("I have a mansion, forget the price, I've never been there they tell me its nice.) , throws big destructive partys ("I live in hotels tear out the walls I have accountants pay for it all ", "I go to parties sometimes until four It's hard to leave when you can't find the door "), and basically just lives the regular rockstar life.

	This man is just tellin it how it is... He's a satisfied dude, lives nicely, no drama in this man's life, just takes everything as it comes... Such a chill song.
