Peaceful Easy Feeling

© Eagles

Another classic from the seventies. The Eagles recorded this in their inimitable country rock style, and there are countless cover versions by performers in many different genres. It's good to know that the song still has a following in the places we play, especially when audiences swell the chorusy bit with multiple harmonies.

People may be surprised by our arrangement - 'Peaceful' is a beautiful love song, and we decided to treat it as such. So our version is slower, more gentle, and more in keeping with our thoughts on this very special song about very special emotions.

I like the way your sparkling ear-rings lay
Against your skin, it's so brown
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
I've got a peaceful easy feeling
I know you won't let me down
'Cos I'm already standing on the ground

And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
I've got a peaceful easy feeling
I know you won't let me down
'Cos I'm already standing on the ground

I get this feeling I may know you
As a lover and a friend
This voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
I've got a peaceful easy feeling
I know you won't let me down
'Cos I'm already standing
I'm already standing
Yes I'm already standing
On the ground
