Chords

The D/F# which doesn't seem to be listed in the chord directory is just a D chord, but instead of playing the D string for the root/bass, instead use your thumb to play an F# on the second fret of the E string:

      E-A-D-G-B-e
D/F#  2-x-x-2-3-2

[Intro] G D/F# G G7 C G D/F# C D G [Verse 1]

         G
Well, to all my friends

             D/F#
That treated me so well

             G            G7
You know I'm headed out

        C
To that mission bell

      G
Gonna wash my soul

Called the El Camino

[Verse 2]

           G
Well, I've been a prince

              D/F#
You know I've been opposed

     G                  G7
By a barb-wired fence

      C
And a murder of crows

            G
I'm leaving all I've loved

    D/F#
And all I've seen

           C                D
Headed down the border road

           G       C
Called the El Camino

Called the El Camino

[Bridge]

C
Yeah, my hearts grown sick

I've got a shepherd's crook As a walking stick

        G            C
And I'm headed on

Yeah, my heart's grown blue I've done wrong by you I don't know what to do

        D
And I'm moving on

Yeah, I'm moving on [Verse 3]

        G
One and one is two

            D/F#
And two and two is four

            G                G7
I'm walking back and forth

        C
On your cracked-tile kitchen floor

         G
With the orange juice

        D/F#
And the sun that shines

          G            G7
It really breaks my heart

        C
Leaving you behind

          G               D/F#
It really breaks my heart

        G            
Leaving you behind

[Bridge 2]

Bm       C                  G 
  All my ships have sailed away

Bm                  C
  The price of this politic is 

                               D
That there's plenty of time to pray

And plenty of time to waste away [Interlude] G D/F# G G7 C G D/F# C D G [Verse 4]

         G
Well, to all my friends

          D/F#
That I've loved the most

You know I'm headed out

        C
To that other coast

      G
Gonna wash my soul

      D/F#
Gonna get it clean 

           C                 D
Headed down the border road

           G       C
Called the El Camino

           G                D/F#
Headed down the border road

           G
Called the El Camino
