MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
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.
haven't looked but might be open g?

NTRO:
D5 / Cadd9 / / / D5 / F6sus2 / / / (play twice)
D5
Old man lying by the side of the road
Dm7
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
Dsus4
Dead man lying by the side of the road
Bb Am7
With the daylight in his eyes
G7 F6sus2
Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning
Em7
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.

S'what I play anyway and it sounds about right to me 🙂
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.
there's a great cheeky trail that goes round the back of his house...... in the Redwoods between San Fran bay and the coast near Santa Cruz
Bloody marvelous jahwomble, many thanks!!!!
S'quite alright.....I'll warn you now it's one of those fingers all over the bloody place jobs though 🙂
Check out Crosby Stills Nash & Young "4 Way Street", CD2, for some pretty cool guitar playing. Such as "Southern Man", "Ohio", "Carry On". 8)
Ohio is 'kin terrific,was listening to that earlier 🙂
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)
