The Eagles - Love will keep us alive

This is one of my favourites and it was probably the first song that I learned to play the whole way through. Its also a good romantic one to impress your better half.

These are the chords you'll need:

Aadd9 X02200 F#m11 2X2200 D6/9 XX0200 Esus 022200

E 022100 D XX0232 F#m7 242222 Bm7 X24232

E/D XX0100 C#m7 X42100 E/B X22100

There's a picking pattern for this song leaving out any muted strings play the bass note of the chord then the next string, then play up from the 1st string to the 3rd and back down to the 1st, like this:

Aadd9 for example

e----------------0----------------------0-----
B---------------------0------------0----------
G---------------------------2-----------------
D---------2-----------------------------------
A---0-----------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------

This is one bar as described below. It doesn't seem to work well for the Esus and E chords. The bridge sounds better just strummed and the chords at the end of the bridge (from E/D to E/B) are just one strum each. Anyway this is just my way of playing it, if you find a better way use it.

Intro

Aadd9 F#m11 D6/9 Esus E
2 bars 2 bars 2 bars 1 bar 1bar

Verse 1

(E) Aadd9 F#m11
I was standing all alone against the world outside

D6/9 Esus E
You were searching for a place to hide

Aadd9 F#m11
Lost and lonely now you've given me the will to survive

D6/9 Esus E Aadd9
When we're hungry love will keep us alive

Verse 2

Don't you worry sometimes you've just got to let it ride
The world is changing right before your eyes
Now I've found you there's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry love will keep us alive

Bridge

(Aadd9) D
I would die for you

F#m7
Climb the highest mountain

Bm7 E E/D C#m7 E/B
Baby there's nothing I wouldn't do

Verse 3

Now I've found you there's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry love will keep us alive
REPEAT INTRO

Bridge

Verse 4
EXACTLY THE SAME AS VERSE 1

Outro

Aadd9 F#m11 D6/9 Esus E Aadd9
When we're hungry love will keep us alive

PLAY TWICE THEN 3 BARS of Aadd9 GRADUALLY SLOWING TO A STOP
Enjoy.
