------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW LONG - The Eagles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: woega Email: [email protected] 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.
