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
