ON THE BORDERDon Henley, Bernie Leadon, & Glenn FreyEaglesOn the Border1974I guess you could call this a little disco-countryoff the On the Border album. This is a pretty coolsong with a great chorus, written by my three favoriteEagles members. So I'm gonna jam on this, and I hopeyou guys do too.GUITAR 1: Electric, plays distorted parts in intro and chorus,plus half the verse riff.GUITAR 2: Electric with a funky effect, plays the stuff behindthe verses and does the solo.GUITAR 3: Rhythm electric playing chords during intro and chorus,plus half of verse riff.C#m B B A A E A EGUITAR 1:+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +e:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-5-----5---------|-2-----0---------| G:-9-----8---------|-8-----6---------|-6-----4---------|-2-----1---------| D:-11----9---------|-9-----7---------|-7-----6---------|-2-----2---------| A:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| E:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|GUITAR 2:e:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-5-----4---------|-0-----0---------| B:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-5-----5---------|-2-----0---------| G:-9-----8---------|-8-----6---------|-6-----4---------|-2-----1---------| D:-11----9---------|-9-----7---------|-7-----6---------|-2-----2---------| A:-11----9---------|-9-----7---------|-7-----7---------|-0-----2---------| E:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-5---------------|-------0---------|GUITAR 1:+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +e:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-7-----9---------|-10----10--------| G:-9-----8---------|-8-----6---------|-8-----9---------|-10----11--------| D:-11----9---------|-9-----7---------|-9-----11--------|-12----13--------| A:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| E:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|GUITAR 2:e:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-7-----9---------|-10--------------| B:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-7-----9---------|-10--------------| G:-9-----8---------|-8-----6---------|-8-----9---------|-10----11--------| D:-11----9---------|-9-----7---------|-9-----11--------|-12----13--------| A:-11----9---------|-9-----7---------|-9-----11--------|-12----12--------| E:-9-----7---------|-7-----5---------|-7-----9---------|-10----11--------|Here's the part behind the verse (GUITAR 2).
