Neil Young

Neil Young - War Of Man guitar chord

#

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

No, I don't have that one, but someone requested "War of Man" about a week

ago. I lost his message, and I finally took the time to write it down.

This is my first attempt at cyber-tab so bear with me. Any hints, advice,

whatever would be helpful.

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

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

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
