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 : Harvest Moon : Neil Young

G Bm C Am

G Bm C Am

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.

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.

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'

Verse 2

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.

Chorus:

Dm Bb Bb C C A

No one wins, it's a war of man. ( repeat like the recording)

Verse 3

Silver mane flying in the wind

down through the planets on the run again.

No one knows where they're running to

but every kind is coming two by two

Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound

the daddy's runnin ont the frozen ground.

Can't smell the poison as it follows him,

can't smell the gas and machines

its a war of men.

From: pchuss@megatest.com (William Pat Chuss)

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

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

0 0 5 5 5 5 0 0 7 7 7 7 0 0 0 5 6 0 x 8 8 7 6 x x1010 9 8 x

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

where it says (eg) 'F chord 2 measures' you can do a number of things-

usually on the piano, a chord is struck and held, so you may want

to do this. alternatively, play the chord arpeggio, or pinch it

in time with beat. whatever.... you decide :-)

We watched the moment of defeat

D CaddD

Played back over on the video screen

Em7 Cmaj9 D CaddD

Somewhere deep inside of my soul

G CaddD Dsus4 G

G CaddD Dsus4 G

A natural beauty should be preserved like a monument
