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.

This is not in the recorded key - i suspect Neil's guitar could be tuned down to D, same shapes. On the other hand, it's a very bad bootleg recording :-)
Strumming: up-stroke / down
Av = xx5433 A6 = xx5435 As4 = 002230 A9hA = hammer on from 002200 to 002220 E/ means hit the tonic bass note hard!
You can figure out the bass notes to hit in the verses easy enough.
In the intro, give a quick up and down strum on an ordinary A, before jumping down to A at fifth.
