[LaurenM]

Hi all,
I am looking for the music sheet to the tango "Adios Muchachos" by Carlos Gardel.
If anyone can help me out, thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Lauren,

You asked for "Adios Muchachos," and I'm happy to supply a chord chart.

This is a 1927 composition by the Argentine composer Juilio Sanders. It is a tango-canción, i.e., a tango with lyrics. It is a simple, diatonic 32-bar tune with an AABB structure.

There are a number of performances of this song on Youtube, but my favorite is the Americanized 1951 version by Tony Martin, with the English title "I Get Ideas." I remember this version from my childhood (shows how ancient I am), and I was happy to hear it for the first time in many years.

A lead sheet can be found in The Latin Fakebook published by Hal Leonard. A piano version can be found here: http://www.free-scores.com/download-sheet-music.php?pdf=39531# and https://www.8notes.com/scores/23438.asp

I've got a gig on Friday at a retirement community. This is a perfect song to add to my playlist. Thanks for reminding me of this song and getting me to write this chart.

Thank you so much Keith! I fell in love with this song listening to the "I get ideas" version by Louis Armstrong. I just listened to Tony Martin's version, it's beautiful, thank you for the discovery!
I hope you have a great gig today!

You're very welcome, Lauren. If you like the Louis Armstrong version, check out the performance by Chloe Feoranzo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEg4gflsvIo

My gig went very well. I wound up selecting the Jazz - Bossa Nova style at 120 bpm for "Adios Muchachos" rather than play it as a traditional tango.
