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.

EmAEmA Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul EmAEmA Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul GAGA Scored some friends along the way, did what I did, said what I had to say GA And I'd do it all again if I had to today CDEmAEmA When all is said and done, I'm the one
EBC#A Cocaine eyes won't hide your face EBC#ABEmAEmA It's no surprise, you'll lose the race again, my old friend
It's a long hard road when your friends start to leave you behind It's a long hard road when you're tryin' to find peace of mind Some might go for poison, some go for too much stuff Some just go to sleep at night and forget to wake up
Have fun!
Shakey PS- for the acoustic version, Neil plays the Em, A intro and before returning to the Em chords, he plays these frets on the A string:

NOTE: What I mean by the above riff explanation is this: The first part is strummed (trying to imitate up and down strums) then the 2 4 5... are individual notes played on the D string. This is from the solo acoustic, still unreleased version.
