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.

The chords for this song revealed themselves to me last week end. Thanks to the guy who posted the lyrics. [Archivers note: Lyrics posted by Steve Vetter [email protected]] It is recorded in F but I found that a capo at the 5th fret played nicely (using key of C formations). If anyone has any corrections or improvements, please repost.
THIS OLD HOUSE Written by Neil Young
capo at 5 ... chords as shown = formation(actual)
C(F) Dm(Gm) Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking, G(C) C(F) The kids are all asleep and I'm walking the floor. C(F) Dm(Gm) Darlin' I can see that you're dreaming, G(C) C(F) And I don't wanna wake you up when I close the door.
C(F) F(Bb) This old house of ours is built on dreams G(C) C(F) And a businessman don't know what that means. C(F) F(Bb) There's a garden outside she works in every day G(C) And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's C(F) Gonna come and take it all away.
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy, And how he always made things work, When the chips were down, And I know I've got something inside me There's always a light there to guide me To what can't be found.
This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means. There's a swing outside the kids play on every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away.
Dm(Gm) G(C) Dm(Gm) Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away. G(C) Dm(Gm) C(F) Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
Remember how we first came here together? Standing on an empty lot, holding hands. Later, we came back in the moonlight And made love right where the kitchen is, Then we made our plans.
This old house of ours is built on dreams And a businessman don't know what that means. There's a garden outside she works in every day And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's Gonna come and take it all away.
Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away. Take it all away, take it all away, take it all away.
