Daryl Hall And John Oates - Private Eyes - Chords for Guitar

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

Transcribed by: Rich Challen

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

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 p
iano 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 its t
he
secret of the entire song.. and further proof of the underrated genius that is H
all & Oates.

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