 HOW LONG - The Eagles

 Tabbed by: woega

 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.

 Verse 1 Glenn Frey
 C                                       F                
 Like a bluebird with its heart removed, lonely as a train
      C   F       C      G     F  
 I've run just as far as I can run
