Words and Music

by Neil Young

CAPO I

(Intro   A  Am9   A  A  Am9  A)

A

I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me.

D           A

I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me.

E

Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the

floor,

Bm                                               D

                                                 A  Am9  A  etc.

Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly.

A      

Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.

D           A

Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.

E

Reporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of

hounds,

Bm                                                  D

                                                          A

Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed

up.

E A  E     A    E

You wake up in the middle of the night, your sheets are wet and your face is

white.

E                       A     E         Bsus2

You tried to make a good thing last.   How could something so good, go bad,

so fast?

A                                             Bm    

American dream, American dream

A                                              Bm    D

American dream, American dream.

A

Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and

strong.

D A

Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and

strong.

E

Reporters crowd around your house, going through your garbage like a pack of

hounds,

Bm          D

Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed

up.

A                

Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and

strong.

                   D

American dream, American dream.  Don't know when things went wrong,

           A

Might have been when you were young and strong.   American dream, American

dream.

A                     Am9              D                   E

                  Bm                Bsus2
