Song: El Condor Pasa
By:   Simon & Garfunkel

[intro:]   |Em |   |   |   |
           |Em |   |   |   |
           |C  |   |Em |  {let ring}
 
[verse: 1]
                               |G
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
                                  |Em   |   |   |   |
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

[bridge:] 
|C
Away, I'd rather sail away
       G                    
Like a swan that's here and gone
  C
A man gets tied up to the ground
             G                 G
He gives the world its saddest sound
             |Em    |  |   |   |Em  |      
It's saddest sound

[verse: 2] 
    |Em                        G
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
                                       |Em   |   |   |   |
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

[bridge:] 
|C
Away, I'd rather sail away
       G            
Like a swan that's here and gone
  C
A man gets tied up to the ground
             G                 G
He gives the world its saddest sound
             |Em    |  |   |   |Em  |  
It's saddest sound

[verse: 3]  
    |Em                        G
I'd rather be a forest than a street
                                  |Em   |   |   |   |
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

[bridge:] 
|C
Away, I'd rather sail away
       G                   
Like a swan that's here and gone
  C
A man gets tied up to the ground
             G         
He gives the world its saddest sound
             |Em    |  |   |   |Em  |    
It's saddest sound

[verse: 4]  
   |Em                               G
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
                                       |Em   |   |   |   | 
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
