Tuning: G C E A
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- George Alexander and The Mellomen – El Dorado --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard George Alexander and The Mellomen El Dorado (1966) (Nelson Riddle/J. Gabriel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zihn6FuFWZg A moving western song from a great Howard Hawks movie ("El Dorado", 1966). This is a reading of the movie version. The song starts in the key of B and then goes up one half step after every verse. This makes for some difficult chords and a lot of barree (version 2). If you want to avoid that and just play the song easily, I added version 1 which is in C throughout. Enjoy! VERSION 1: intermediate - in C throughout without key changes VERSION 2: advanced - original key with key changes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS g-C-E-A Fmaj7 2-4-1-0 G#-5 1-2-4-3 Fadd9 0-0-1-0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO | C | Am | C | Am | VERSE
