Eldorado
A ~ G D
1. Here it comes another
lonely day, playing the game,
Bm F#m
Am Em
I sail away on a voyage of no return to see,
Gm D - Bm
if eternal life is meant to
be,
Em Gm - A - - -
and if I
find the key, to the eternal dream.

G D
2. The painted ladies of the Avalon, play in the sun,
Bm F#m Am Em
take to the road, to the
north there lies the chills of cold,
Gm
D Bm
to the south there lies the
tales untold, oh,
Em
Gm
but in between there lies the
place to close your eyes
D - D7 - Bm - A - G D Em
And I will st
ay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
Gm D - D7 - Bm - A - G D Em - Gm - A
I will be fre
e, of
the world, Eldorado.

3. Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing, bird on the wing,
Bm F#m Am Em
feel,
feel so free, through the life upon the rooftop haze,
Gm D - Bm
all the cheating and the
broken days,
Em
Gm
so through it all I see, there's nothing left for me.

4. Sitting here on top of
everywhere, what do I care,
Bm F#m Am Em
days never end, I know the
voyage's end will soon be here,
Gm D Bm
now eternal life is here for
me, oh,

and now I found the key, to
the eternal dream.

And I will st
ay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
