| ===================================================================== |
| 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. |

| In the original studio recording, it just keeps repaeating the last few bars and |
| fades out. However, on the Eagle's live album and on "Hell Freezes Over," the |
| song ends with a little ditty like this at the end... |
