Chords
Song: 10538 overture
Artist: ELO
Composer: Jeff Lynne
Album: The Electric Light Orchestra
Tabbed by DJ 2nd Dec 2015
De-tune all strings down a tone to D-G-C-F-A-d
(The song will then sound in the key of C)
2014 Hyde Park live performance video at this link:
An alternative rare 70's live version,
performed a tone higher than the original track,
in the key of D (i.e. in standard tuning)

* In the break riff, Jeff Lynne plays an Am
whilst a C bass note is added by the cellos,
but for a solo performer adding the C bass to the
Am chord does sound better as part of a progression
