TOO MANY HANDS R. Meisner & D. Felder Eagles One of These Nights 1975 This is a pretty easy song (from the acoustic standpoint), so I was wondering if I should put it up, so I said yeah, it'll be easy. If you can get Meisner's slightly screechy voice down, you're set! Have fun with it, and remember the D5 tuning.

D5 She's one of a kind D5 Sometimes hard to find RF1 Like a rainbow D5 Well, she's lost all her glory D5 And could tell you some stories RF1 That we all should know G5 F5 And there's too many hands D5 Being laid on her G5 F5 D5 Too many eyes will never see G5 That it's dragging her down F5 E5 But you won't hear a sound as RF1 She turns 'round
continue simile Her beauty all aflight It always seems to turn the tide At midnight And for her there is no rest We are doing what is best For our future One of these days she may not Be so good to you One of these days she might Chain you to the ground But her fire is still burning F5 E5 D5 And her heart is still yearning to be found
