    its the version off the live at massey hall concert recordings, it sounds like he re tunes the guitar before hand to some open tuning, (he even does a little run through arpeggio of the strings beforehand) but i still cant do it…. grrrrrrr

    whats the tuning and chords

    anyone?

    searched youtube, various tab sites all they give you is the standard chords……

    Is it me or is Neil Young the worst guitarist on the planet. It sounds like he's retuning the thing as he's playing.

    D5
    Old man lying by the side of the road

    With the lorries rolling by

    Dsus4
    Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load

    Bb Am7
    And the buildings scrape the sky

    D5
    Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn

    Dm7
    And the morning paper flies

    Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning

    Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

    REPEAT INTRO

    Blind man running through the light of the night
    With an answer in his hand
    "Come on down to the river of sight"
    And you can really understand
    Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
    Can you hear the sirens moan?
    White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
    If you're walking home alone
    Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning
    Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

    REPEAT INTRO

    D5 (rest) D5 G5
    Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning

    Em7
    Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

    D5 / Cadd9 / / / D5 / F6sus2 / / /

    D5 (rest) D5 G5
    Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning

    Em7
    Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

    Oi, enough of that 👿

    Nowt wrong with Neil Young, godfather of grunge and non-conformist.

    Edit: you need guitarhero to read this thread or any of the other guys from the recent Forum session.

    Check out Crosby Stills Nash & Young "4 Way Street", CD2, for some pretty cool guitar playing. Such as "Southern Man", "Ohio", "Carry On". 8)

    I have seen Dave Crosby, Steve Stills and Graham Nash in concert. It was a long time ago. 😳

    Edit: I rather like Steve Stills music anyway. His son has played with Ryan Adams.

    The countdown has started to the Joe Bonamassa gig in May. Can't wait to see him again and he has a new album out soon. He is awesome. 8)
