================================================
Corrections/criticisms/comments are welcome.  Please send

newsgroup.

intro:
F# 	B	F#	B
F#	B	C#	C#

F#                          B
It's just another day in paradise
D#m                   C#
As you stumble to your bed
F#               B
Give anything to silence
D#m                  C#
These voices ringing in your head

D#m                      B
You thought you would find happiness
D#m                B
Just over that green hill
D#m                      A#m
You thought you would be satisfied
B             C#
But you never will
               F#	B 	F# 	B
Learn to be still

(verse 2):
Like sheep without a shepherd
Don't know how to be alone
G we wander 'round this desert
Wind up following the wrong gods home

The flock cries out for another
They keep answering that bell
One more starry eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Bridge:
C#
Now the flowers in your garden
B
They don't smell so sweet so sweet
C#
Maybe you'd forgotten
D#m              C#
The heaven lying at your feet

F#	F#	B	B
F#	F#	B	B

Verse 3:
There's so many contradictions
In all these messages we send
Keep asking how do I get out of here
Where do I fit in

Though the world is torn and shakin'
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
Someday you will
Learn to be still

(F# 	B repeated over and over till end of song).
Learn to be still

Just keep on running

Keep on running....

"I wanna find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each others paint-by-number dreams"		-- Jackson Browne

"In my dreams I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they learned to swim"		-- U2
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is how I play Learn To Be Still by the Eagles.  There is a capo on 2nd fret on all guitars, and the tab of the intro and solo reflects this tuning.

define: C#m7 {x 1 3 1 2 1  4th}

        G#m7 {1 3 1 1 1 1  4th}



             LEARN TO BE STILL

          performed by The Eagles
     written by Don Henley and Stan Lynch

   Intro:

   E-A-E-A-E-A-B

   The acoustic guitars play the first E-A, then an electric comes in and plays E-A, then another electric comes in and plays the following intro riff:

e:------------|
B:-----------0|
G:---------2--|
D:---4---2----|
A:-2----------|
E:------------|


Sometimes the electric plays this:

      H
e:--------------|
B:----0-2------0|
G:-2---------2--|
D:---------2----|
A:--------------|
E:--------------|

Then the verse starts.  The progression over the verse is as follows:

Verse 1:
[E] Just another day in pa[A]radise
[C#m7] As you stumble to your be[B]d.
[E] You'd give anything to silence[A]
[C#m7] Those voices ringin' in your [B]head.

[C#m7] You thought you could find happi[A]ness
[C#m7] Just over that green [A]hill.
[C#m7] You thought you would be [G#m7]satisfied,
[A] But you never w[B]ill...learn to be sti[E]ll.

E-A-E-A

Verse 2:
We are like sheep without a shepherd
Who don't know how to be alone.
G we wander 'round this desert
Wind up following the wrong Gods home.

But the flock cries out for another,
And we keep answering that bell.
One more starry-eyed Messiah
Meets a violent farewell...learn to be still

E-A-E-A-E-A-E-A

Bridge:
[B] Now the flowers in your [A]garden
[B] They don't smell so sweet [A] so sweet
[B] Maybe you've forgotten [C#m7] the Heaven lyin' at your [B] feet.  Yeah Yeah Yeah.

Then the solo comes in, and it looks something like this.  The chords over the solo are E for 2 measures, A for 2 measures.  This is done twice under the solo.

                            H P                H           H         H
e:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B:-----------9/11\9----------------------------------------------------------|
G:-----------9/11\9-----------------2/4\2----------------------------4-6--4--|
D:----7-9-11----------------4-6-4---2/4\2-2----------------6-9--9-6---------6|
A:7-9------------------2-2--------4---------4--2-4----7-7--------------------|

e:----------------------------|
B:----------------------------|
G:------9/11-9----------------|
D:-4-----------7-9/11-9-------|
A:---7------------------11-9-7|
E:----------------------------|


Then back to the verse

Verse 3:
There are so many contradictions
In all these messages we send. (we keep askin')
How do I get outta here?
Where do I fit in?

And though the world is torn and shakin',
Even if my heart is breakin',
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will...learn to be still.

Outro:
E-A-E-A-E-A-E-A
Keep on runnin'
Just keep on runnin'
Yeah.


That's about it.  I hope I included everything, and I hope everyone enjoys playing it.  Please send comments, peeves, corrections, an electric guitar (please!), or any type of guitar talk to:
