Title: Private Eyes
Artist: Daryl Hall & John Oates
Written by: Daryl Hall, Warren Pash, Sara Allen & Janna Allen

No offense to anyone out there, but the only tabs I could find for this song were 

75% of the chords were just dead wrong. So I decided to tab a version that you 
can play on one guitar.
Bear in mind that many of the "interesting" chords in this song arise from the piano and 
guitar playing slightly different things, so some shapes get a bit tricky. Feel free to 
out the passing tones (like Dm/A) or make substitutions (G for G/A).
But do NOT substitute for the F/G chord! That took me a while to find but it's the 
secret of the entire song.. and further proof of the underrated genius that is Hall & Oates.

No lead guitar transcribed (it's mainly simple lines and power chords), and for the 
part, use triads up the neck in a steady eighth note pattern. Happy playing!
