             G                                            
 She used to work in a diner, never saw a woman look finer
                                                   
                                                  C     
 I used to order just to see her float across the floor.
                    
                  C     G                   C     G    
 She grew up in a small town, never put her roots down.
                              
                             C   
 Daddy kept movin so she did too.


 chorus:
                C      G                    C      G       
 Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley Davidson

                                    C    
 Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind.

                   C           G    
 She's been runnin half of her life.

                C         G     
 The chrome and steel she rides,
  
                                 C                     G        
 Collidin' with the very air she breathes, the air she breathes.

       
 intro:

 You know it ain't easy, you got to hold on.
 She was an unknown legend in her time.
 Now whe's dressin' two kids, lookin' for that magic kiss.
 She gets that far away look in her eyes.

>From Hank to Hendrix, I walked these streets with you.

Em		    G	        C            Am
Here I am with this old guitar, doing what I do.

G          Bm      C                     Am
I always expected, that you would see me through.

Em                  G     C                 Am	  G
I never believed in much, but I believed in you.

Chorus

F               FM7            C                   G 
Can we get it together, can we still stand side by side.

F              FM7   C              G
Can we make it last, like a musical ride?


>From Marilyn to Madonna, I always loved  your smile,
Now we're headed for the big divorce, California style.
I found myself singin'  like a long lost friend
The same thing that makes you live can kill you in the end.

chorus:

Sometimes its distorted not clear to you.
Sometimes the beauty of love just comes ringin' through.
New glass in the window, new leaf on the tree,
new distance between us you and me.

chorus:

notes: 
use G 320033 or GIII rather than a straight open G.. a straight open G.

@3

This looks formidable, but is actually quite easy to play, and gives
a great sound. Be sure to read the notes before attempting to play.

 when ending a section on a D, eg at the very end of the song, neil hammers 
 the first string, then the third.

 when sliding up through D Fv Gvii, neil hammers the third string, then
 the first.

Harvest Moon - Neil Young

Tabbed by Bill Brown (brownw@cs.uregina.ca) 1993.11.07
correction rcwoods@unix1.tcd.ie

Chords 

Low E is tuned down to D.

B = beat
h = harmonic
v = strum down
^ = strum up

I don't know the proper name for some of these strange
chords, so I'll just tab the different parts.

Part 1 - intro

e -----------------------------09-09-09---09-09-09----|
B ------10---12-12-12-12-------10-10-10---10-10-10----|
G ------11---11-11-11-11-------11-11-11---11-11-11----|
D ------12---12-12-12-12------------------------------|
A ----------------------------------------------------|
D --0----------------------0--------------------------|
    B    B    B     B      B    B     B    B     B
         v    v  ^  v  ^   v    ^  v  ^    ^  v  ^

Part 2 - harmonics part

e------h12-----------------|
B----------h12-------------|
G--------------h12---------|
D----------------h12-------|
A-----------------h7-------|

Part 3

    D          DM7 A  Bm7 (with A bass)
e---2--2--2--2--2--x--2----
B---3--3--3--3--2--2--3----	
G---2--2--2--2--2--2--2----
D---0--0--0--0--0--2--4----
A------------------0--0----
D-------------------------  ]

e--------|-------|-------|
B--------|---2---|-------|   Since the strumming pattern is
G--------|---2---|-------|   the same for this area too, I
D---2----|---2---|-------|   left it out.
A---2----|-------|---5---|
D---2----|-------|---5---| 
   Em        A     G (variation)

He drags his first few fingers back across the strings on the 
up strum; so if you have nails, it sounds better. 

Strumming pattern is the same for all the chords.


Part 1 - intro X 4

Part 2 - harmonics      Come a little bit closer

Part 2 - harmonics      Hear what I have to say

Part 3 - X 2

Part 2 - harmonics      Just like children sleepin'

Part 2 - harmonics      We could dream this night away

Part 3 - X 2

G
      But there's a full moon risin'
G
      Let's go dancing in the light

Part 1 - intro X 2

G
      We know where the music's playin'
G                                intro (actually starts here)
      Let's go out and feel the night

Part 1 - intro X 2

Em                                    A
      Because I'm still in love with you
                                Em
      I want to see you dance again
                                      A
      Because I'm still in love with you
stop                  (and here)  
      On this harvest moon

and finish up with slow strum of this chord:
(D with add ons)

e------2--------|
B------3--------|
G------2--------|

 Verse 3
 Silver mane flying in the wind 
 down through the planets on the run again.
 No one knows where they're running to

 Can't smell the poison as it follows him, 
 can't smell the gas and machines 
 its a war of men.

war of man

Tune Guitar:  DADGBD (tune 1st and 6th strings down one full step)

INTRO CRDS (play twice)

C/D		|D		|Dm7		|Bb     C  

And now the song:

C/D				|D			|Dm7		
				|			|
The lit-tle crea-tures run	| in from the cold,-    |  back from the nest,

		| Bb      C	|C/D			|D
		|		|			|
just like the 	| days of old.  | There in the safety	| of a mother's arms

Dm7			|Bb	C	
			|
The warmth of ages far  |away from harm again.

The riff at this point is on the third and second string (G and B), open
to third fret, to second string open then second and third frets, then play
the D5 to fill it in.  If you listen you'll get it.  I'm not too good at 
typing this stuff in (sorry).

Then the next bit goes like this:

Dm7		|			|Bb		|Bb5  C5  A5	|Dm (x4)
		|			|		|		|
No one wins,    |it's a war of man.	|               |               |

Now here's my attempt at tabbing the chords.  They sound so good because of 
that DADGBD tuning.  Let that Sixth string D wring out.  Neil would ;-)

   C/D	   	     D		     Dm7	    Bb		     C

| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |

| | | | | |	| | | | | |     | | | | | |     | | | | | |     | | | | | |


    Bb5		     C5		     A5		     Dm

| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |
x 8 8 x x x	x1010 x x x	x 7 7 x x x	0 0 01010 x (that's 2nd and 3rd
| | | | | |     | | | | | |	| | | | | |	| | | | | |  strings on 10th ft)

Here's the lyrics just to round things out:

The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.

Ears ringin' from the battle fire
The tired warrior aims a little higher
The black falcon or the little sparrow
The healing light or the flash of the barrel

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man

Silver mane flyin' in the wind
Down through the planets on the run again
No one knows where they're runnin' to
But every kind is comin' two by two

Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound
The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground
Can't smell the poison as it follows him
Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man

The windows open and the little girl dreams
The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed
Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride

The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again.

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
