Artist: Ennio Morricone
Song: The Story Of A Soldier (La Storia Di Un Soldato)
Album: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (Soundtrack)
Tabbed by: Imre Lahdelma (lahdelmi@jippii.fi)
This is a beautiful song by Ennio Morricone from the film "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly".
I didn't find a tab for this song anywhere so I decided to do one.
I have heard that on the Italian import soundtrack CD there is a six minute version of the song.
This version I tabbed is the shorter version.
So, here are the chords:
A (577655)
A7 (575685)
Bb7 (XXX131)
Bm (799777)
C# (X46664)
D (XX0232)
D* (X57775)
D** (X54232)
Ddim7 (XX0101)
Dmaj7 (XX0222)
Dmaj7* (X57675)
Em (X79987)
E7 (X79797)
G (355433)
Gmaj7 (XX5777)
(Note that the chords reflect the overall tonality of the song.
The chords can be arpeggiated freely and some of the notes in the chords
can be omitted. Listen to the song and you'll see what I'm talking about.)
