Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy Of Gold Chords & Tabs

Ecstasy of Gold – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Ennio Morricone

Tuning: +8 percent


For the minor keys: Step 4-2-1 (B-C-A-E) and the bass is step 4 (E---).
For the major keys: Step 4-2-2 (E-F#-D-A) and the bass is step 4 (A--).
^ This is important for the related themes in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly because
each of the above progressions moves up to different keys, meaning E>A>D>G and they can
continue regardless of whether the key is major or minor. Be creative.

(Em bass) – B-C-A-E repeat.

Notes about the beginning: On the first time through [1], the bass plays under B-C-A-E
with Am, and then it plays under A-B-G-D with G.
