Hi...

I have tabbed the part Glenn Frey Plays himself...
so its the intro, mainriff, and part of the solos.
the solos is tricky, thoug its easy to make them sound good alone, the timing is what 
them awsome in the song.
~ = vibrate
/ = slide
h = hammer on
p = pulloff
b = bend
hb= heavy bend

there is 3 guitars in this song...
[1.leadguitar] the tab i have done )works fine if you play cords during the verse)
[2.leadguitar] the one that respond to the 1.leadguitar in solo and finish the song 
cords while not soloing)
[3.rythmguitar] this one play cords during the whole song, its the only one you cant 
the song whithout. there is some awsome cords here:

1st verse:

 CThere's (x32010@1)trouble on the streets tonight, I can feel it in my bones,

 CI (x32010@1)had a premonition that I should not go alone,

 CI (x32010@1)knew the gun was loaded, but I didn't think he'd kill,

 Ceverything (x32010@1)exploded and the blood began to spill.

 FSo (133211@1)baby, here's your ticket, put this suitcase in your hand,

 FHere's (133211@1)a little money, now do it just the way we planned,

 CYou (x32010@1)be cool for twenty hours and I'll pay you twenty grand.

    GI'm (320003@1)sorry it went down like this, someone had to lose,

         FIt's (133211@1)the nature of the business it's the smugglers' blues.

           ( play intro lead 2 times )

2nd verse:

 CThe (x32010@1)sailors and the pilots, the soldiers and the law,

 Cthe (x32010@1)pay-offs, and the rip-offs, and the things nobody saw,

 CNo (x32010@1)matter if it's heroin, or cocaine or hash,

 CYou've (x32010@1)got to carry weapons 'cause you allways carry cash.

 FThere's (133211@1)lots of shady characters, lots dirty deals,

 Fevery (133211@1)name's an alias in case somebody squeels,

          Cit's (x32010@1)the allure of easy money that's got a very strong appeal.

              GPerhaps (320003@1)you'd understand it better, standing in my shoes,

         F (133211@1)                                            CIt's (x32010@1)the ultimate enticement, it's the smugglers' blues.

3rd verse:

 CYou (x32010@1)see it in the headlines, you hear it everyday,

 CThey (x32010@1)say they're gonna stop it, but it does not go away,

 CThey (x32010@1)move it through Miami, they sell it in L.A.

 CThey (x32010@1)hide it up, I'll tell ya right, I mean it's here to stay.

 FDepartments (133211@1)of the govenment in Columbia and Peru,

 FYou (133211@1)ask any D.A. man they'll tell ya there's nothing they can do,

         CFrom (x32010@1)the office of the President right down to me and you, me and you.

             GWell (320003@1)it's a losing proposition, but one you can't refuse,

         FIt's (133211@1)the politics of contraban, it's the smugglers blues.
