This is by far my favourite Eagles song, written by the genious that is Paul Carrack. I
it because i could not find a tab for it anywhere. If anyone could tab the intro that
be fantastic. Enjoy!

Intro:

|F |Am Dm |Bb |A7 |
Verse:
It’s not the first time
That I’ve had the sense that something’s wrong
I’m old enough to know
That things don’t always work out like they should
I know you’re trying hard
To break it gently to me, now
But there’s no easy way
To tell it like it is, o baby…
Chorus:
I don’t want to hear anymore
You don’t need to tell me it’s over
I’ve been here before
Verse:
I’ve seen that look before
I know it well; it comes as no surprise
You’ve been avoiding me
But now you want to talk it over
Before you take my hand
And tell me softly in a whisper
There’s no need to explain
I’ve read the book; I know how this all ends
Chorus:
I don’t want to hear anymore
You don’t need to tell me it’s over
I’ve been here before
I won’t ask you to stay
I won’t stand in your way
Look me right in the eyes
Let me walk away with my head high
Solo:
|F |Am Dm |Bb |Bb |
|F |Am Dm |Bb |A7 |
If there’s some other guy
I don’t need to know why
Chorus:
But I don’t want to hear anymore
You don’t need to tell me it’s over
I’ve been here before
I won’t ask you to stay
I won’t stand in your way
And I don’t want to hear anymore
No, no, baby

Bb Dm— C— F—

I don’t want to hear anymore

HOW LONG – The Eagles

Tuning: standard
This is my interpretation of the ENTIRE song, lyrics, chords,
tabs including the INTRO, all RIFFS, the SOLO and the OUTRO.
I’ve tried to be as accurate as I can, but I’m open for suggestions 🙂
I’ve included the riffs and the lyrics alternating, so the lyrics should not
be linked to the tabs directly underneath.
