Heart of gold - Neil Young
Intro:
Finaly a correct intro, 'cause I saw Neil performing this live on television!
e |--------0---0---0---0---0---0--|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
B |--------3---3---3---3---3---3--|-3---(3)---3---0-----------------|
G |--------0---0---0---0---0---0--|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
D |--------2---2---2---2---2---2--|-0---(0)---0---2------------0h2--|
A |--------2---2---2---2---2---2--|---------------2-------0h2---h2--|
E |-(0)-0--0---0---0---0---0---0--|---------------0-----------------|
e |--------0---0---0---0---0---0--|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
B |--------3---3---3---3---3---3--|-3---(3)---3---0-----------------|
G |--------0---0---0---0---0---0--|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
D |--------2---2---2---2---2---2--|-0---(0)---0---2------------0h2--|
A |--------2---2---2---2---2---2--|---------------2-------0h2---h2--|
E |--0-----0---0---0---0---0---0--|---------------0-----------------|
After you played this two riffs you can go over in progression with
the Em,C,D,G chords along with the harmonica. Do that 3 times and play
the first piece of the intro tab:
e |--------0---0---0---0---0---0--|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
B |--------3---3---3---3---3---3--|-3---(3)---3---0-----------------|
G |--------0---0---0---0---0---0--|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
D |--------2---2---2---2---2---2--|-0---(0)---0---2------------0h2--|
A |--------2---2---2---2---2---2--|---------------2-------0h2---h2--|
E |--0-----0---0---0---0---0---0--|---------------0-----------------|
This is an examples of how you can eventually play the verses:
Play the chorus in the rhytm like the intro.
e |----------------0---0--(0)-----|------2---(0)--3---3---(0)---------|
B |----------------1---1--(0)-----|------3---(0)--0---0---(0)-------------|
G |---------0------0---0--(0)-----|--2---2---(0)--0---0---(0)-------------|
D |---------2------2---2----------|------0--------0---0-------------------|
A |-------2---0----3---3----------|-0-------------2---2-------------------|
E |---0---------------------------|---------------3---3-------------------|
I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching and I'm getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
You can end with this little riff:
e|--------------3------------------------|
B|--------------0--------------------|
G|--------------0------------------------|
D|--------------0------------------------|
A|--0--3--2--0--2------------------------|
E|--------------3------------------------|
