Guitar chords El Condor Pasa

El Condor Pasa (If I Could) is a Peruvian folk song that was processed and popularized by American songwriters Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. It was included in the 1970 album Bridge Over Troubled Water. Simon heard the melody in a performance by Los Incas and then asked for permission to add his own lyrics to the music.
