I like the way your sparklin' earrings lay
against your skin so brown
and I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
with a billion stars all around
'cause I got a peaceful, easy feelin'
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm a-already standin'
on the ground
And I found out a long time ago
what a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you any way
you don't already know how to go.
And I got a peaceful, easy feelin'
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm a-already standin'
on the ground
verse and chorus progressions)
I get this feeling I may know you
as a lover and a friend
but this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
tells me I may never see you again
'cause I got a peaceful, easy feelin'
and I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm a-already standin'
I'm a-already standin'
yes I'm a-already standin'
on the ground
end on E

The Fmadd4 chord in particular was clearly visible in an Eagles video, as
were the A-Asus2 and B7-B7/A changes. There are other ways to play Fmadd4
but I think this is the easiest, which is probably why Frey chose to use it.
They definitely play this in the key of E, but on the studio recording from
Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) they aren't tuned to concert standard
(A=440hz), or to anything else that makes sense, like a half-step flat. I
find that if I set my tuner to A=433hz it comes out just right. The same is
true of Take It Easy, so my best guess is that whatever they tuned to in
the studio was off a bit. Play this along with the studio recording and
you'll see what I mean.
This is a modification of another entry I found here, but I can't remember
whose it was. Constructive criticism is most welcome. Enjoy!
