Eagles tabs/chords

I didn't know if there was already a topic related to this yet, but I was hoping if someone could help me with the chords to the "Desperado" section of "Doolin Dalton/Desperado Reprise?" Specifically Glenn's part with a capo on the 2nd fret.

I don't know that there's a topic on it yet, but you're speaking Greek to me!

Have you got the chords to it and not sure how to play them or do you need the chords first?

I've never listened to it that closely, but I just did - with headphones. It wasn't hard to hear what each guitar is doing BEFORE THE DRUMS COME IN. After that I can't hear what they play. I hear the basic chords of course, but not how exactly they play them. But I don't think it matters that much what kind of voicings you use when you strum those chords.

If you can't find the answer from the internet (or someone else here), I can do a TAB of what both guitars to before the drums come in and send it to you via email. (or if such attachments are possible in this forum, I can try to put it here.)

Here's the first guitar...

And the second one...For some reason the size of the pictures diminished dramatically when I uploaded them here.

I listened to the song and transcribed those without a guitar, but I believe that I wrote down what I heard pretty accurately.:mrgreen:

Thanks chaim!!! Yeah I just gotta figure out the chords after the drums come in.

No problem. The tiny text in the first attachment is not readable. It says that whoever plays that guitar, picks the B-string during the D chord before his finger is on the 7th fret of that string. So instead of the f sharp note we hear the open B string briefly. It produces a D6 sound, which IMO is rather nice here. But I don't think the player did this deliberately, so I wrote down the "actual" chord when he has placed his fingers on the 7th fret (on the G- and B-strings).:-)

When the drums start, the chords are:

A, E/G#, F#m, A, D, F#m/C#, Hm
A, E, D* A, A7
Then it repeats D, A (A7)

For the guitar with the capo this is of course:

G, D/F#, Em, G, C, Em/B, Am
G, D, C*, G, (G7), C, G.....

Now - without headphones - I can hear the strummed guitars more clearly for some reason. They are playing the very basic versions of the chords - nothing fancy. The "capoless" guitarist doesn't worry about the G# bass in the E chord. He just plays an E major chord and lets Randy take care of the G sharp.

*When they play this chord for the first time, at least one of the guitarists plays a maj7 chord after the triad.

Wow! I'm in awe since this is all completely Greek to me. :rockon:
