Song Title: Crazy Eyes Artist: John Oates (Hall & Oates) Tabbed and Chord Charts by: bmchrestoff (July 24, 2017 to June 13, 2022) IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) This is from a solo performance by John Oates at the Cutting Room in NYC back in 2014 of one of my favorite Hall & Oates songs 2) John's Acoustic Martin guitar is in Standard Tuning 3) John uses No Capo in this performance 4) The song changes to the key of D in the 3rd Chorus 5) John stays mostly true to the Original 1977 Recording but does substitute some chord grips in favor of ones with a slightly jazzy vibe that fit quite well 6) In the Chorus of the actual recording at "Looking at you through Crazy Eyes tonight" John strums a C9sus4/G (3 3 3 3 3 3) on "Looking" and an Am7 (5 7 5 5 5 5) on "Crazy" that can be substituted because they just sound better than the Bbmaj7 and Cmaj7 of this live version plus they are easier to grip ============================================================================================================== CHORDS USED IN THIS SONG: Cmaj7 8 X 9 9 8 7 Em7/B 7 7 9 7 8 X Bbmaj7 6 X 7 7 6 5 Dm7/A 5 5 7 5 6 X Am 5 7 7 5 5 5 C/G 3 3 5 5 5 X F X 3 3 2 1 1 F* 1 3 3 2 1 1 Em 0 2 2 0 0 3 Dm7 X 5 7 5 6 8 Cmaj7* X 3 5 4 5 3 D9 X 5 4 5 3 0 D7 X 5 4 5 3 X Fmaj7 X 8 10 9 10 X Em7 X 7 9 7 8 X D7sus2 X 5 7 5 5 X F/G 3 X 3 2 1 1 G/A 5 X 5 4 3 3 Key Change Chords Dmaj7 X 5 7 6 7 X B7sus2sus4 X 4 4 2 0 0 C6/9 X 7 7 7 8 8 Bm7 7 9 7 7 7 7 E7 X 7 6 7 5 X E7* X 7 6 7 0 X G/A* X 0 5 4 3 0 Dmaj7sus2 X X 0 2 2 0 G/A X 0 5 4 3 0 Cmaj7 X 3 5 4 5 X Bbmaj7 X 1 3 2 3 X A6sus2 X 0 2 4 2 2 A6 X 0 2 2 2 2 ========================================================================================== [Intro]
