Double E chords by Neil Young

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)




Intro:
A  D  F  G


Verse 1:
A
Back in the country
               D
Livin' on the double e
       F        G
In the sunshine of her life
A

There's a ready young filly
A
And mom and daddy
D
Won't let her leave
        F          G          A
Mom and papa won't let her go.


Chorus:
G             D       A
But when they go out dancin'
    G          D      A
She breaks out on her own
G                   D        A
She's hot enough to burn the house down
    G                    D
And mom and daddy don't know.


Instrumental:
A  D  F  G A


Verse 2:
A
When Edith and Earl
                   D
Renamed the double e
     F           G
They nearly made history
A
neighbours rose up
                              D
And some of them were mad as hell
          F              G      A
'cause it used to be the double L.


Chorus:
G            D           A
Change comes slow in the country
            G               D         A
When you're new, there's a lot of distrust
G          D      A
Years pass by uneventful,
    G                 D
And memories turn to dust.


Instrumental:
A  D  F  G A


Verse 3:
A
Meanwhile granny
                   C      D
Has got her bright colors on
     F           G
The sunshine in her eyes
A
Cruisin' by the bars
                       C       D
And honky tonks where she met grandpa
    F           G           A
And caught that young man's eye.


Chorus:
G     D          A
Dusty white eldorado
G         D          A
Cruisin' through the trees
G        D            A
Slippin' through the shadows
   G            D    A
Of what used to be


Outro:
A
Back in the day
               C        D
Livin' in the summer of love
F             G         A
Livin' in the summer of love
A
Grandma's ok
                       C         D
But not the same since grandpa's gone
      F             G         A
She's livin' in the summer of love
A
Back in the day
               C        D
Livin' in the summer of love
F             G         A
Livin' in the summer of love
A  D
F             G         A
Livin' in the summer of love
A  D
F             G         A
Livin' in the summer of love
A  D
F             G         A
Livin' in the summer of love
