LIFE'S BEEN GOOD - Joe Walsh

---------------------------------------

tabbed by Howard Wright

As this is quite a long song, I'll start the ball rolling with the

intro riff

Usual symbols :

b = bend up

r = release bend

/ = slide up

E---------------------------------------------------

B---------------------------------------------------

G--------------------2----------------2---2-2-------

D--------------------2--------2-----------2-2-------

A--2b3-3r2-0--2/4------0-2/4-----4--------0-0-------

The last A chord is where the other instruments come in

He carries on playing this riff while the slide guitar etc play

other stuff

Then after 8 or 16 bars the acoustic guitar comes in with :

E---5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--0-0-0-0----

B---6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1-0-0h1--

G---5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---4-4-4--2-2-0-0h2--

D---

A---

E---

Then a little lead in on the electric:

E--

B--

G--

D------0-2-3---

A---3----------

E--

And the singing starts here!

I don't know the words, but the chords start with:

F C/E Dm C F C/E Dm C

(repeat once)

then:

G FaddG C G C G C G

G FaddG C G C G/B A

The words over the last C G/B A are "Life's been good to me so

far"

Then it goes back to F C/E Dm etc

Shapes:

EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE

xx3213 x20003 xx2010

FaddG G/B C/E

I think you know the others....

Hope this gets you started- the rest of the song is mostly repeats

and variations on these bits i.e the intro riff, acoustic chords

and the main body of the song (the bit above with the chords)

Hope y'all enjoy!
