My Man
The Eagles
On the Border (1974)
This is a tremendous Bernie Leadon song off On the Border. It's easy to play,so have
with it. The intro is the only tab I have notated, the rest is just chords. Bernie is my
Eagles vocalist, even though he doesn't sing much, so I love this song. Good luck!

Verse 1:
F Fmaj7
Tell me the truth, how do you feel?

Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?

Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
Bbmaj7 Gm
We're all tryin' to get along
Verse 2:
With ev'rybody else tryin' to go their way
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
Just go along til they turn out the lights
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
Chorus:
Bb CF
No man's got it made
G7 Dm Bb
Till he's far beyond the pain
F C Dm
And we who must remain
C Bbmaj7 C F C
Go on living just the same
Verse 3:
I once knew a man, very talented guy
He's sing for the people and people would cry
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
Bbmaj7 GmF
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
Fmaj7 Bb Gm
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
F CBb Gm
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
Chorus:
My man's got it made
He's gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same
