Neil Young

Neil Young - Shots (chords) guitar tab

Subject: CRD: Shots - Neil Young

Shots - Neil Young

tabbed by Stan Southern

Here are the chords and words to "Shots",

the Boarding House 5/27/78 version.

This song is played in a "dropped" tuning

(DGCFAD, instead of EADGBE). However,

the chords I have listed are those that

would be played as if there was no dropped tuning.

Thus, an Am as I have it written is really a

Gm I guess. But it's a lot easier to play it

in the dropped tuning.

I can't remember the name of one chord - it's A something.

I have it listed as A??, but it's really just 003210

(it's that chord from My My Hey Hey)

Thanks to Steve Vetter for motivating me to transcribe

this.

Am F

Children

C G Am F

Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands

C E Am F

Trying to join their father's castles together again

C G Am F

Will they make it? Who knows where or when

G

Old wounds will mend

Am F

Shots

C G Am F

Ringing all along the borders can be heard

C E Am F

Comin' down like a venom in the sky

C G Am F

Cutting through the air faster than a bird

G

in the night

Am F

Machines

C G Am F

Are winding their way along, looking strong

C E Am F

Building roads and bringing back loads

C G Am F

of building materials

G

in the night

Am F

Men

C G Am F

Are trying to move the boulders on the ground

C E Am F

lines between the different spots that each has found

C G Am F

but back home another scene was going down

G

in the night

Am F

Lust

C G Am F

Comes creepin' through the night to feed on hearts

C E Am F

of suburban wives who learned to pretend

C G Am F

when they met their dreams end

G

in the night

Am G A??

But I'll never use your love you know I'm not like that

Am G A??

and so if you give your heart to me

Dm E7

I promise to you

Dm E7

whatever we do

A?? G C A?? C A??

that I will always be true

Am F

Children

C G Am F

Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands

C E Am F

Trying to join their father's castles together again

C G Am F

Will they make it? Who knows where or when

G

Old wounds will mend
