LIFE'S BEEN GOOD - Joe Walsh
---------------------------------------
tabbed by Howard Wright

As this is quite a long song, I'll start the ball rolling with the
intro riff
Usual symbols :
b = bend up
r = release bend
/ = slide up
E|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------2----------------2---2-2-------|
D|--------------------2--------2-----------2-2-------|
A|--2b3-3r2-0--2/4------0-2/4-----4--------0-0-------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------3-3-3--------------|
G|---------------------2----------------2-2-2---2-2-2------|
D|---------------------2--------2----0--0-0-0---2-2-2------|
A|--2b3-3r2-0--2/4-------0-2/4----4-------------0-0-0------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------2--2-2-----------------------|
D|-------------------------2-------2-2-----------------------|
A|--2b3-2b3-2b3r2-0--0-2/4---4-----0-0-----------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------3-3-3------2-------|
G|----------------------------------------2-2-2------2-------|
D|-----------------------2-------2----0---0-0-0------2-------|
A|---2b3--3r2--0--2/4------0-2/4----4----------------0-------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
The last A chord is where the other instruments come in
He carries on playing this riff while the slide guitar etc play
other stuff
Then after 8 or 16 bars the acoustic guitar comes in with :
E|---5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--0-0-0-0------|
B|---6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----6-6-6---5-5-5--1-1----5-5-5---3-3-3--1-1-0-0h1----|
G|---5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---5-5-5--2-2----5-5-5---4-4-4--2-2-0-0h2----|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then a little lead in on the electric:
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|------0-2-3------------------------------------------------|
A|---3-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
And the singing starts here!
I don't know the words, but the chords start with:
F C/E Dm C F C/E Dm C
(repeat once)
then:
G FaddG C G C G C G
G FaddG C G C G/B A
The words over the last C G/B A are "Life's been good to me so
far"
Then it goes back to F C/E Dm etc
Shapes:
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
xx3213 x20003 xx2010
FaddG G/B C/E
I think you know the others....

Repeat Intro:
Last Verse played like first one
I go to parties, sometimes until four,
it's hard to leave, when you can't find the door.
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame,
everybody's so different, I haven't changed.
Last Chorus
They say I'm lazy, but it takes all my time. (Everybody say oh yeah - oh yeah)
I keep on going, guess I'll never know why.
Life' been good to me so far, yeah, yeah, yeah
