--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blue Shadows on the Trail – Randy Newman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard / Half-Step Down Randy Newman (Vocals: Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Martin Short) Blue Shadows on the Trail (1986) (Randy Newman) From: "The Three Amigos - Original Soundtrack" Alternate version: “Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman (CD 3: Odds & Ends)” I chose to transcribe this heart-breaking song in guitar player-friendly E. Newman’s demo recording on the anthology mentioned above is in F (to play along you’d have to use a capo 1st fret). The soundtrack recording is in Eb (in this case you either tune down a half-step (D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-d#) and play in E or you’d have to put a capo 1st fret and play in D (I included this version below). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soundtrack version (Eb = E + tuning: half-step down to D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-d#) Randy Newman demo (F = E + capo 1st fret) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS E-A-D-G-B-E Fdim 1-x-0-1-0-x B7/F# 2-x-1-2-0-2 E/G# 4-x-2-1-0-0 Bbdim x-1-2-0-2-0 E/B x-2-x-1-0-0 G#m7b5 4-x-4-4-3-x C#7+5 x-4-6-4-6-5 F#7+5 2-x-2-3-3-2 B5+ x-2-1-0-x-x B5+add9 x-2-1-0-2-x --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIFF
