Chords

This song is verbatim an Edgar Allan Poe poem set to music by Donovan. Chords are simplified as there is a moving bass line on the E minors but a complete tab of the repeating pattern is included at the bottom of the chart [Verse 1]
Em
Gaily bedight, a gallant knight

   Am              Em
In sunshine and in shadow

  Am                  Em
I journeyed long, singing a song

             Bm        Em  Em/G  Em/F#  Em
In search of Eldorado
[Verse 2]
    Em
But he grew old, this knight so bold

Am                   Em
And o'er his heart a shadow

Am                  Em
Fell as he found no spot of ground

                 Bm        Em  Em/G  Em/F#  Em
That looked like Eldorado
[Verse 3]
Em
Over the mountains of the moon

Am                     Em
Down the valley of the shadow

Am                    Em
Ride boldly, ride the shade, replied

                Bm        Em  Em/G  Em/F#  Em
If you seek for Eldorado
[Verse 4]
Em
And as his strength failed him at length

Am               Em
He met a pilgrim shadow

Am                        Em
"Shadow", said he, "Where can it be

             Bm          Em  Em/G  Em/F#  Em
This land of Eldorado?"
[Verse 5]
Em
Over the mountains of the moon

Am                     Em
Down the valley of the shadow

Am                    Em
Ride boldly, ride the shade, replied

                Bm        Em  Em/G  Em/F#  Em
If you seek for Eldorado
