Dear FTP Server Operator,
This is an easier version of the song "You and Me" by
Neil Young. I suggest it be called
you_and_me.crd.easy
The part I want archived starts after the line of hyphens...
-------------------------------------------
For this song, I think bar chords are the way to go.
Don't be afraid to do some sliding during chord changes.
Most of the bar chords are just an A or and E configuration
moved to a different fret. It's not hard to play once
you are comfortable with bar chords.
Here are how I play the chords:
E 779997
D 557775 I'm not a music theory expert by any stretch,
A 577655 so perhaps some of the strings that I indicated
C 335553 should be muted. I don't know.
G 355433
Bm 224432
Am 577555
Neil Young does a bunch of funky plucking stuff that I
haven't taken the time to work out. I'm not even sure if
the song is played in the key that I play it.
One more thing... When you play the instrumental chord
progression, do Am and D the non-bar chord way. You know
what I mean... Am 002210 D 000232
Lemme know if anyone figures it out further... tab perhaps.

You And Me
----------
by Neil Young
Open up your eyes. See how lifetime flies.
Open up and let the light back in.
Open up your heart, and let the lovin start.
Open up and let the life back in.
Instrumental chord progression:
Am(non-bar)
D(non-bar)
I was thinkin of you and me... makin love beneath a tree.
And now I wonder, "Could it be?"
Thinkin of the times we had... some were good and some were bad.
Guitar fightin the TV.
Chorus:
I was thinkin of you and me.
I was thinkin of you and me.
I was thinkin of you and me.
I was thinkin of you and me.
Instrumental chord progression:
Am(non-bar)
D(non-bar)
Lookin at you just the other night, dancing in the evening light.
True love conqueres all.
Old man sittin there. Touch of grey but he don't care.
When he hears his children call.
I was thinkin of you and me.
I was thinkin of you and me.
I was thinkin of you and me.
I was thinkin of you and me.
Open up your eyes. See how lifetime flies.
Open up and let the light back in.
Open up your heart, and let the loving start.
Open up and let the life back in.
