This is the way I played it.


         Mr. Soul    by Neil Young
                 recorded by Buffalo Springfield

The main riff on the E MajorE is as follows:
 q  q  e e e q e q e e e e
|--------------------------------------------------------

|--------------------------------------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------
|-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0--------------------------

When it switches to A augmentedA play:

|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------
|-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0----------
|----------------------------------------

each of these riffs is two measures long(4/4 time sig.) and the
eighth(e) and quarter(q) notes indicate the approximate rhythm.
