Subject: CRD: World on a String (Neil Young)
I actually posted this transcription some time ago, but considering its
correctness compared to the version at OLGA, I just thought it needed a
repost. I think it's a nifty little tune, well picked by Neil for his
Unplugged concert. Try it out!
World on a String [Unplugged] - Neil Young
------------------------------------------
Tune Low E (6.string) to D
Chords: [Power chords (5ths) played with single downstroke]
DADGBE
D5: 000xxx
G5: 555xxx (use pointer-finger as barre)
F5: 333xxx (use pointer-finger as barre)
D: xx0232 (played with some D5 intermingled)
G6: 550030
F/A: x03211 (fill in with a 3.string hammer on, pos. 0 -> 2)
C: x32010 (fill in with a 4.string hammer on, pos. 0 -> 2)
Note! The root chords are positively the correct ones, but smaller
details may come on different to other people, so any
comments/corrections are welcomed.
-----------------------------
(D5 G5 F5 D5 D) repeated
D5 G5 F5 D5 D D5 G5 F5 D5 D
You know I lose, you know I win
D5 G5 F5 G6
You know I called for the shape I'm in
D5 G5 F5 D5 D D5 G5 F5 D5 D
It's just a game you see me play
F/A C G6 D
Only real in the way that I feel from day to day
Although the answer is not unknown
I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown
It's not all right, to say good-bye
And the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
No the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
Only real in the way that I feel from day to day
lyrics: from the c-d sleeve
