George Alexander and The Mellomen – El Dorado
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Nelson Riddle/J. Gabriel
From the movie "El Dorado" (1966)
Tabbed by: maguri
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. If you want to avoid that and just
play the song easily, I added a second version which is in C throughout.
Enjoy!
