Old Man chords by Neil Young

Guitar 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 :-)

 D Am7 Em7 G D/F#

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

 D                                    Am7      Em7  G

(DWB: play a quick F-G at the end of the phrase on the way back to D)

 Lullabies, look in your ....

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

D F C G

D

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

 FM7 is x00560, and you repeatedly hammer-on the third (G) string (0h5)
 The mention of Dsus4 is to indicate that you should fiddle around with the
 high E string, between D, Dsus4 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 F C G  D F C G
 (or D F C 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! rcwoods@unix1.tcd.ie
