The Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane
Originally in Em, I play in Am
All the m’s are closer to 7#9’s
Intro, just muck around for a bit, I usually skip the riff-ish mucking around
Am
Now muck around a little differently, this is the mucking around I prefer
Am
He was a hAmard-headed man, he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a D7nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They Amsaid he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had E7one thing in common, they were good in bed
She’d say, D7faster, faster, the lights are turnin’ red
AmLife in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
AmLife in the fast lane, mmm
Am
AmEager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
There were D7lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She Ampretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race
E7Out every evening, until it was light
He was D7too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it
AmLife in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
AmLife in the fast lane, mmm
AmLife in the fast lane, everything, all the time
AmLife in the fast lane, uh-huh
Solo
EGED
Now a real I major
A
AmBlowin’ and burnin,’ blinded by thirst
They didn’t see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, listen, baby, you can hear the engine rev
We’ve been up and down this highway, haven’t seen a goddam thing
He said, D7call the doctor, I think I’m gonna crash
The Amdoctor say he’s comin’, but you gotta pay him cash
They went E7rushin’ down that freeway, messed around and got lost
D7They didn’t care, they were just dyin’ to get off
AmLife in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
AmLife in the fast lane, mmm
AmLife in the fast lane, everything, all the time
AmLife in the fast lane, uh-huh
