Artist: Ennio Morricone
Song: The Story Of A Soldier (A Storia Di Un Soldato)
Album: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (Soundtrack)
Tabbed by: Imre Lahdelma ([email protected])

This is a beautiful song by Ennio Morricone from the film "The Good, The
Bad And The Ugly".
I didn't find a tab for this song anywhere so I decided to do one. I have
heard that on the Italian import soundtrack CD there is a six minute
version of the song.
This version I tabbed is the shorter version.

So, here are the chords:

A      (577655)
A7     (575685)
Bb7    (XXX131)
Bm     (799777)
Db     (X46664)
D      (XX0232)
D*     (X57775)
D**    (X54232)
Ddim7  (XX0101)
Dmaj7  (XX0222)
Dmaj7* (X57675)
Em     (X79987)
E7     (X79797)
G      (355433)
Gmaj7  (XX5777)

(Note that the chords reflect the overall tonality of the song.
The chords can be arpeggiated freely and some of the notes in the chords
can be omitted. Listen to the song and you'll see what I'm talking about.)

 Sign up and fall in and march off to war.

 Blue grass and cot - ton, burnt and forgotten

 All hope seems gone so soldiers march on to die.

 There in the distance a flag I can see,

 A7                          A            D
 Scorched and in ribbons but whose can it be,

 Dmaj7           D7        Gmaj7       D**
 How ends the story, whose is the glory

     Db    Dmaj7*    D*           A         D*
 Ask if we dare, our comrades out there who sleep.
