Nyoung - Shots 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.
