Day Of The Eagle by Trower Robin guitar tab (text):#
From: jdrich@vuse.vanderbilt.edu (Joseph D. Richardson)
"Day of the Eagle" from the 1974 Chrysalis release "Bridge of Sighs" by
Robin Trower -- tabbed by Joe Richardson (jdrich@vuse.vanderbilt.edu)
Notes:
I'm not sure whether or not this is in standard tune. Listen for the
open E string in Figs A & B. Also, I have included approximate times from
my CD player readout to make some of the lead work easier to follow.
^ - bend
r - release bend
= - hold note
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
... - carry over to next staff
u - undetermined fret from which to slide up or down
(x^y) - xth fret bent to yth fret as one continuous sound
(Begin Fig. A. Play this staff 3X in the intro and once after each verse.)

* This last phrase is for the intro and after the second verse. After the
first verse, bend the F# to G#, release to F#, bend to G#, and follow
with a slight tremolo bend, if you have one. Play only the E5 portion
after the third verse.

First solo (1:56). It sounds like he has a wah rocked all the way back and
is using the tremolo (which I don't have) for much of the vibrato and bends.
This sounds very close if you are also tremolo deficient.

This seems to be a good stopping point, although there is a cool lick
around 4:37, or so. The recording has faded 3 or 4 dB and a second
guitar track, which was back in the mix previously, has been gaining in
volume and I think tabbing two lead guitars is rather tedious.
Lyrics:
I've not figured out whether this song is about religion, sexual
conquest, or law enforcement, so I may have some mistakes with the
lyrics. Help would be appreciated.
Fig. A (intro)
Fig. B (2X)
1st verse: (beginning on 5th staff of Fig. B, second time through)
I saw a light just up ahead,
But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed.
I'm not alone and then I am.
Some people seem to think I'm Superman,
* But I watch for the love.
I'm livin' in the Day of the Eagle--
* Eagle not the ..... dove.
Fig. A (etc.)
2nd verse:
* It's like a weight that brings me down.
* If I don't move, I'm on the ground.
It's in my mind. It's in my soul.
It's telling me things that can't (be told?).
* It says "Watch for love."
I'm livin' in the Day of the Eagle--
* Eagle not the ..... dove.
First solo.
3rd verse:
Another day, another night.
* I wanna love--they wanna fight.
I need the time.
I've got to be alone.
* I've got to think it over on my own.
* But I watch for the love.
I'm livin' in the Day of the Eagle--
Eagle not the ..... dove.
Fig. A
"Ride out" solo over Fig. C.
