Neil Percival Young (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and social activist who is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his generation, particularly as Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Young was born in Toronto, but he moved to the family home of Winnipeg as a child, which is where his music career began. Young began performing as a solo artist in Canada in 1960, before moving to California in 1966, where he co-founded the band Buffalo Springfield along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay.

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.
CGCG She grew up in a small town, never put her roots down.
C Daddy kept movin so she did too.
chorus: CGCG Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley Davidson
C Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind.
CG She's been runnin half of her life.
CG The chrome and steel she rides,
CG 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.

EmGCAm Here I am with this old guitar, doing what I do.
GBmCAm I always expected, that you would see me through.
EmGCAmG I never believed in much, but I believed in you.
Chorus
FFM7CG Can we get it together, can we still stand side by side.
FFM7CG 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.

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.

neil also uses Bb of x88766 on some occasions.
when ending a section on a D, eg at the very end of the song, neil hammers the first string, then the third.
when sliding up through D Fv Gvii, neil hammers the third string, then the first.
I don't know the proper name for some of these strange chords, so I'll just tab the different parts.
Part 1 - intro

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'
Part 2 - harmonics We could dream this night away
Part 3 - X 2
G But there's a full moon risin' G Let's go dancing in the light
Part 1 - intro X 2
G We know where the music's playin' G intro (actually starts here) Let's go out and feel the night
Part 1 - intro X 2
EmA Because I'm still in love with you Em I want to see you dance again A Because I'm still in love with you stop (and here) On this harvest moon
and finish up with slow strum of this chord: (D with add ons)

Verse1 DmDm7 The little creatures run in from the cold, back to the nest just like
BbCDmDm7 the days of old. There in the safety of a mother's arms the warmth
BbCDm of ages far away from harm again.
Solo riff: ^ means hammer on quickly, the first note is a grace note. ------------------------------------| ------------------------------------| --------0--0^2--0-----------0--0^2--| --0--3-------------3--0--3----------| ------------------------------------| ------------------------------------|
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:
DmBbBbCCA 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.
Tune Guitar: DADGBD (tune 1st and 6th strings down one full step)
INTRO CRDS (play twice)
C/D |D |Dm7 |BbC
And now the song:
C/D |D |Dm7 | | The lit-tle crea-tures run | in from the cold,- | back from the nest,
| BbC |C/D |D | | | just like the | days of old. | There in the safety | of a mother's arms
Dm7 |BbC | 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 |Bb5C5A5 |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 ;-)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

A correction to your posting of Niel Young's "One of These Days"
Chorus:(wrong /as posted) /A /F#m /Em / One of these days I'm going to sit down and write a long letter /A /F#m /D / to all the good friends I've known. /A /F#m /A /F#m /A /F#m One of these days, One of these days, One of these days /D /E And it won't be long It won't be long.

Also, instad of playing the very plain F#m throughout the song, use instead F#mb5maj7 This is also referred to as a half-diminished (F#-1/2dim)
