Peaceful, Easy Feeling by Eagles
This is my first but I think it's pretty accurate, based on my own ear and
observing a couple of videos of Eagles themselves playing it. Scroll to the
bottom for chord fingerings and other information.
[Verse 1]
I like the
way your sparklin'
earrings
lay
against your
skin so
brow
n
and I want to
sleep with you in the
desert to
night
with a billion
stars all a
round
[Chorus] 'cause I got a p
eaceful, easy f
eelin'
and I know you won't let me
down
'cause I'm
a-
already
standi
n'
on the
ground
[Verse 2]
And I found
out a long
time a
go
what a woman can
do to your
sou
l
Ah, but
she can't take you
any
way
you don't already
know how to
go.
[Chorus] And I got a
peaceful, easy
feelin'
and I know you won't let me
down
'cause I'm
a-
already
standin
'
on the
ground
[Instrumental verse] (verse and chorus progressions)
[Verse 3]
I get this
feeling I may
know
you
as a
lover and a
frie
nd
but this voice keeps
whispering
in my other
ear
tells me
I may never
see you a
gain
[Chorus] 'cause I got a
peaceful, easy
feelin'
and I know you won't let me
down
'cause I'm
a-
already
standin'
I'm
a-
already
standin'
yes I'm
a-
already
standin'
on the
groun

Chords Used:

The F#madd4 chord in particular was clearly visible in an Eagles video, as
were the A-Asus2 and B7-B7/A changes. There are other ways to play F#madd4
but I think this is the easiest, which is probably why Frey chose to use it.
They definitely play this in the key of E, but on the studio recording from
Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) they aren't tuned to concert standard
(A=440hz), or to anything else that makes sense, like a half-step flat. I
find that if I set my tuner to A=433hz it comes out just right. The same is
true of Take It Easy, so my best guess is that whatever they tuned to in
the studio was off a bit. Play this along with the studio recording and
you'll see what I mean.
This is a modification of another entry I found here, but I can't remember
whose it was. Constructive criticism is most welcome. Enjoy!
