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
