Subject: TAB: ELDORADO by E.L.O.
ELDORADO (by E.L.O.)
(D)Here it comes another (C)lonely day (C*), (G)Playing the game
(Em)I sail (Bm)away on a (Dm)voyage of no (Dm*)return to (Am)see
If (Cm)eternal life is meant to (G)be (Bm)
And if I (Am)find the key, to the (Cm)eternal dream -(D)
The painted ladies of the Avalon, play in the sun
take to the road, To the north there lies the chills of cold
To the south there lies the tales untold
But in between there lies the place to close your eyes,
Chorus:
- and I will stay (G B7 Em D C)
I'll not be (G)back, (Am)Eldorado
(Cm)I will be free (G B7 Em D C)
of the (G)world, (Am)Eldorado (Cm - D)
Say goodbye the city's heroes sing, Bird on the wind,
Feel feel so free, through the life upon the rooftop haze,
All the cheating and the broken days,
So through it all I see, there's nothing left for me (-Chorus)
Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care
Days never end, I know the voyage's end will soon be here
Now eternal life is here for me
And now I found the key, to the eternal dream (-Chorus)
_NOTES______________________________________________
1. Hello ELO-friends: this is how I play Eldorado.
I might have missed a chord or two, but it's still a beautiful song,
even played with only guitar & vocal.
The song, written by massa Jeff Lynne, is on the Eldorado-album.
2. Some Chords I used:
C* = X 3 2 0 1 3 (= C plus high pinky)
Dm*= X X 0 2 3 0 (= Dm minus highest)
B7 = X 2 1 2 0 2 (= let's say close to original)
3. This version: 12-oct'97
Suggestions & requests are welcome!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
