- OUTLAW MAN
- David Blue
-
- Eagles
- Desperado
- 1973
-
-
- This is a really neat song off Desperado. It starts off with an acoustic doing
- a chicka thing (while the banjo from the instrumental fades out), just mute all
- 6 strings with your left hand and strum. After the first drum entrance, play the
- following. The electric part is pretty simple, so I'll do it right along with the song.
