The El Paso Waltz

The Rising Fawn studio recording is available on YouTube, but better yet, there’s a great live video of Norman and Nancy Blake performing it as well. Sadly, there’s no mention of who the fiddler is in the video; if you happen to know, please send that info my way.

Honestly, I’m a little embarrassed about how long it took me to work out the chords, but after all that work, I’m happy to share them here. I like to play this one in capo 2 on the guitar, for quicker access to that pesky Bm chord.
