The difference between the two above riffs is that the first has a break in
it (the big space) and the second is continuous.
------------------


 Here is what I think the intro to Life in the Fast Lane (by the
 Eagles) is:
 E---------------------------------------------|

 D-0^2---2---2p0------------0^2---2---2p0------|

however,if you want to play the riff with some feeling
and sound..then I suggest neither of the above are right..
This is how I do it..in the key of E! (chords of the song are E/A/B
basically)

[Verse 2]
E
Eager for action and hot for the game, the coming attraction, the drop of a name.  
E
They knew all the right people; they took all the right pills.  
E
They threw outrageous parties; they paid heavily bills.
          A7                                               E
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face.  She pretended not
                                           B7
to notice; she was caught up in the race.  Out every evening until it
                A7
was light, he was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight

about it.


[Chorus]
E                      E                   E
Life in the fast lane; everything all the time.  Life in the fast lane,
E
yeah.


[Verse 3]
E
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst, 
E
they didn't see the stop sign; took a turn for the worst.  
E
She said, "Listen, baby.  You can hear the engine ring.  
E
We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen
                            A7
a goddamn thing."  He said, "Call the doctor.  I think I'm gonna crash.
   E
The doctor says he's coming; but you gotta pay him cash."  They went
   B7                                                 A7
rushin' down that freeway; messed around and got lost.  They didn't

know they were just dying to get off.


[Chorus]
          E                           D/E
And it was life in the fast lane,
C/E                       A/E
life in the fast lane. |
