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
