Tuning: E A D G B E

Showdown – Electric Light Orchestra, from 1973’s On The Third Day Written by Jeff Lynne. I’m not sure about the lyrics in the fade-out. If anyone has any idea, let me know. Also not 100% sure if there's a chord change after Gm7 in the chorus. Cello Riff: E|-------------| B|-------------| G|-------------| D|--------1----| A|-3-3-1h3-h3-3| E|-------------| Played over some of the Cm chords. Legend: H = Hammer-on [Intro] Gm7 Cm [Verse 1]
