The Eagles - You Never Cry Like A Lover guitar tab

YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER

John David Souther & Don Henley

Eagles

On the Border

1974

This is another early Henley ballad, a great song which

is really easy to play. Once I got the opening I got the

rest of the song on the first run-through. I will put

up the acoustic part and lyrics first, then I'll attempt

the electric part below. Have fun!

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

INTRO (piano on 1st line, guitar enters on 2nd)

All single-note runs are (g a c):

C D Fm C

C D Fm C

G C

You never cry like a lover should

G C

Sigh-ay-ay when it feels real good

G C

Or see the sky through the stone and wood

G

You never cry like a lover

C D

I thought I saw somebody I loved

Fm C

Sleepin' deep inside you

C D

If I could catch you at an unguarded moment

Fm C

I'd stay right there beside you

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

Verse and Chorus simile to above

You never smile at me late at night

Laugh out loud when we get it right

You can't get loose if there's too much light

You never smile like a lover

(Try a little harder) I can't live with you baby

(Harder) Can't live without it.

(Try a little harder) And sometimes I believe in love

But sometimes I doubt it

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

Bridge:

Am G F

But your life goes on

Am

Like a broken-down carousel

G F

Where somebody left the music on

This just repeats G C

You never move like you used to do

Pour it out when you're feelin' blue

Somebody must have put some pain on you

You never cry like a lover

You never cry like a lover

You never cry like a lover

Cry (You never cry like a lover)

You never cry (Cry like a lover)

Come on and cry (You never cry like a lover)

(Cry like a lover)

Cry (You never cry like a lover)

(Cry like a lover)

(You never cry like a lover)

Here's the electric part to You Never Cry Like a Lover.

Bernie has some great riffs in here, and I don't know

if I've got them all right, but I tried. Good luck!

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

This is the intro, played the second time through the intro chords.

Variations of this are played during each chorus, just play around

with it to get it. It shouldn't be too hard.
