Ballad Of The Alamo - Marty Robbins Chords
Chords: Am, G, Dm, E, C, Em, Bowie, Alamo”
More chords by Marty Robbins
Genre: country, western, folk
I was learning to play some of my friends favorite songs,
so I thought this needed to be on Ultimate Guitar.
It sounds good with a capo on the third fret.
Tell me if the chords are right, and if it sounds better with
a different capo placement. (I'm new to figuring out songs)
