I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY THE EAGLES Hell Freezes Over Note to Player: Arranged for Acoustic Guitar. This is not a note-for-note copy. It is interpretation for a single guitar and singer. Simplified a bit - but it keeps with overall feel/tone of the song.

The Eagles play it with fantastic bends that may be difficult on an acoustic. The tab below substitues literal notes for most bended notes and simplifies it a bit. Buy and listen to the Hell Freezes Over verison for timing and to hear the real deal. Each chord name represents 4 beats.
