- Here is the tablature for the Eagle's "I Can't Tell You Why" Or at least as
- close as I could get it. If anyone finds any errors in this, please email
- me and let me know.I've found that this is a really good song to do not only
- "electrified" as it was originally done, but also as an "unplugged" version.
- The possibilities are endless.

-
- This is the lead part that Don plays in the middle of the song.

- In the original studio recording, it just keeps repaeating the last few bars and
- fades out. However, on the Eagle's live album and on "Hell Freezes Over," the
- song ends with a little ditty like this at the end...
