I saw a request some time back for the chords to 'Blue Shadows on the
Trail'. I took the time yesterday to transcribe them from a recording of
Roy Rogers (perhaps when he was still Leonard Sly!) and the Sons of the
Pioneers. I transcribed the chords in the key in which they recorded it,
the key of E. I can't find it anywhere on your site. I Hope this is
useful. It is a BEAUTIFUL song!
BLUE SHADOWS ON THE TRAIL by Eliot Daniel & Johnny Lange
EF# minor
Shades of night are falling
EG# minor F# minB7
As the wind be- gins to sigh
EF# minor B7E
And the world's silhou- etted a- gainst the sky.

Blue Shadows on the Trail

Blue moon shinin' through the trees.
EE7A
And a plain--tiff wail--- from the distance
EB7E
Comes a driftin' on the evening breeze.

Move a- long, Blue Shadows, move a- long
B minor C#7F# minor
Soon the dawn will come and you'll be on your way
