High Noon - chords, tab and comments
Title song from the 1952 classic western movie, featuring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly. Original soundtrack by Tex Ritter, who also rearranged it, and included it with the album "Tex Ritter's Wild West". Classic composer and conductor Dimitri Tiomkin and lyricist Ned Washington collaborated for many years, resulting in among others "Gunfight at OK Corall" and "Rawhide". Frankie Laine recorded all these for his album "Hell Bent for Leather". Jimmie Rodgers cut a muted version for album "Twilight on the Trail". This good old vinyl is most probably not longer available, but the songs may appear in some compilations. Dig.
