Old Man chords by Neil Young

Chords with lyrics

Anyways, here's the tab, which with a *very* quick glance, looks fairly accurate to me. I quickly fixed a couple of things (noted by the "DWB:"), but the real interesting stuff is the passing notes/chords/riffs that I don't have a clue how to annotate. But I tried anyways :-)

DWB: (Between to D MajorD and Am7, try Dsus4->D->D9->D, pulling-off the high E MajorE from the 3rd fret to 2nd fret to open E, then a quick punch on the 2nd fret again)

 Old man look at my life, ....x2 (intro chords)

D MajorD FF C majorC G+G

D MajorD

 notes :
 FM7: x00560
 Dsus4: x00233
 D9: x00320
 Am7: x002010
 Em7: 022030

 FM7 is x00560, and you repeatedly hammer-on the third (G+G) string (0h5)
 The mention of Dsus4Dsus4 is to indicate that you should fiddle around with the
 high E MajorE string, between D, Dsus4Dsus4 and D9.

(DWB: I made the corrections he notes in the next paragraph, and fixed up the ending)

Just looking at the file right now, i wonder if the line: D MajorD FF C majorC G+G D MajorD FF C majorC G+G
 (or D MajorD FF C majorC G+G x2) is correct - strikes me it should end in F. hmmm

If you make any additions or corrections - let me know of them!
 cheers! [email protected]
