More songs by The Eagles


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Capo 2nd fret.  Chords named relative to capo.

D                                             A
   There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar
G             A                    D
   Great expectations, everybody's watching you
D                                    A
   People you meet, they all seem to know you
G            A                                 D             F#7
   Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

      Bm             E     Bm               E
         Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
      Bm           E         G                  A
         Everybody loves you, so don't let them down

   You look in her eyes, the music begins to play
   Hopeless romantics, here we go again
   But after awhile you're lookin' the other way
   It's those restless hearts that never mend

         Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
         Will she still love you when you're not around?

   A                                         D
      There's so many things you should have told her
   A                                          Bm
      But night after night you're willing to hold her
           E         Gm            C
      Just hold her, tears on your shoulder

F                                              C
   There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you
Bb                   C                        F
   It doesn't really matter which side you're on
F                                             C
   You're walking away, and they're talking behind you
             Bb                    C                   F     A7
   They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along

      Dm                   G      Dm                     G
         Where you've been lately?  There's a new kid in town
      Dm           G        Gm                 A
         Everybody loves him, now he's holding her

                  D        F#m7  G  A
And you're still around
                     D     F#m7  G  A
There's a new kid in town
                        D  F#m7  G  Gm
Just another new kid in town

D                                  Bm
Ooh, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town
D                                 Bm
Ooh, everybody's walking like the new kid in town

          D                          Bm
There's a new kid in town, there's a new kid in town
                      (I don't wanna hear it)
                      (Everybody's talking)
                      (People started walking)
