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. If you wnat to avoid that and just
play the song easily, I added a second version which is in C throughout.
Enjoy!
