Lyin Eyes Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Lyin Eyes guitar chord and lesson page by The Eagles. As with most Eagles’ tunes, this one introduces a couple of nice 7 chords as well as the Bm chord.
But don’t let that deter you!
The Bm chord only shows up once during the chorus, so the song is a great way to practicing getting in and out of that barre chord without taking up the entire piece.

Intro:
G G C C
Am D7 G G
Verse:
G G C C
City girls just seem to find out early,
Am Am D7 D7
how to open doors with just a smile.
G G C C
A rich old man and she won't have to worry;
Am C G G
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.
G G C C
Late at night a big old house gets lonely;
Am Am D7 D7
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
G G C C
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Am C G |C D|
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
G G C C
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
Am Am D7 D7
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down.
G G C C
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin';
Am C G G(strum & hold)
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town.
Chorus:
G G G G
You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes,
Em Bm Am D
and your smi-ile is a thin disguise.

I thought by no-ow you'd reali-ize
Am D G G
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
Am Am D7 D7
And stares out at the stars up in the sky.

Another night, it's gonna be a long one;
Am C G |C D|
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
G G C C
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things;
Am Am D7 D7
You set it up so well, so carefully.
G G C C
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things;
Am C G G (strum & hold)
You're still the same old girl you used to be.
Chorus:

You can't hi-ide your lyin' eyes,

there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes.

Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.
