Take It Easy Tab
by Eagles8,461 views, added to favorites 290 times
At peril of prognosticating rejection, yes, the chord structure is similar/borrowed from the main chords tab. However, I have tabbed out the intro, made a more accurate rendering of the solo, included my best take on the banjo, put chords with lyrics and fills. In the spirit of a coffee shop performance that might capture the essence of the original. Some novice players out there might opt for a bit more guidance.Was this info helpful?
