Blue Shadows on the Trail
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
