Joe Walsh - Life Of Illusion Chords & Tabs

What sounds good for a basic strumming version is: Up Down Up Mute, Up Down Up Mute (or
the exact opposite) It's best to use Barre Chords so you can easily hit the Percussive
mute. In reality, it's kinda a two-step double version of that, but if you know that, 
you don't need to read this portion.

    G
Sometimes I can't help but thinkin' that I'm
                  D
Living a life of illusion
    G
And oh why can't we let it be and see through
                            D
The hole in this wall of confusion
       A
I just can't help but feeling
    G                 D
I'm living a life of illusion

(INTRO/MAIN RIFF)

G
Pow, right between the eyes
                                   D
Oh how nature loves her little surprises
G
Wow, it all seems so logical now
                               D
It's just one of her better disguises
       A
And it comes with no warning
G                          D
Nature loves her little surprises
A G           D
    Continual crisis

G
Hey don't you know it's a waste of your day
                       D
Caught up in endless solutions
             G
That have no meaning just another hunch
            D         A
Based upon jumping conclusions
A G                        D
    Caught up in endless solutions
A G                               D
   Backed up against a wall of confusion
A G                   D
   Living a life of illusion
