On the Border Lyrics

ON THE BORDER \
Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, & Glenn Frey
Eagles
On the Border
I guess you could call this a little disco-country
off the On the Border album. This is a pretty cool
song with a great chorus, written by my three favorite
Eagles members. So I'm gonna jam on this, and I hope
you guys do too.
GUITAR 1: Electric, plays distorted parts in intro and chorus,
plus half the verse riff.
GUITAR 2: Electric with a funky effect, plays the stuff behind
the verses and does the solo.
GUITAR 3: Rhythm electric playing chords during intro and chorus,
plus half of verse riff.

effect he has on there, but I think there's a little distortion
and maybe a little wah. Anywhere you see RIFF, GUITAR 1 and 3 play
the riff shown here.

are going here, with GUITAR 1 playing the

Right after this, they go into another verse
and chorus, then they go to the bridge.

During the second verse, the last part doesn't happen,
it goes right into the bridge.
Here's the bridge. A lot of what you hear
is bass, and I haven't notated that.
GUITAR 1 and 3 play the bottome line
(with divisi where indicated).
GUITAR 2 plays the top.
Never mind your name...
