I Can't Tell You Why tab by Eagles
Guitar Tab
Here is the tablature for the Eagle's "I Can't Tell You Why" Or at least as close as I could get it. If anyone finds any errors in this, please email me and let me know.I've found that this is a really good song to do not only "electrified" as it was originally done, but also as an "unplugged" version. The possibilities are endless. This is the lead part that Don plays in the middle of the song. |------------|-7-7-5-|------------|-7-7-5-----------|--------------------------| |------------|-7-7-5-|------------|-7-7-5-----------|--------------------------| |------------|-7-7-6-|------------|-7-7-6-----------|--------------------------| |------------|-9-9-7-|------------|-9-9-7-----------|7-h9-p7-h9----------------| |--------7---|-9-9-7-|--------7---|-9-9-7--------7-9|-----------7-h9-9>5-7-----| |-7-9-10---7-|-7-7-5-|-7-9-10---7-|-7-7-5-7-9-10----|-----------------------5-7|

However, on the Eagle's live album and on "Hell Freezes Over," the song ends with a little ditty like this at the end... |-7-7-----------10-| |-8-7-7--------7---| |-----7-7-7---7----| |-------7-9--9-----| |------------------| |------------------| 🏷Legend: >N = Slide to the Nth fret N> = Slide from the Nth fret down (N = Bend string up at the Nth fret N) = Bend string at the Nth fret, pick and release bend (N) = Bend and release string at the Nth fret HN = Hammer on at Nth fret PN = Pull off at Nth fret Tabbed by: John McDermott johnmc@nccunix1.nccnet.com
