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