From Bill Brown : brownw@hercules.cs.uregina.ca Harvest Moon - Neil Young Tabbed by Bill Brown (brownw@cs.uregina.ca) 1993.11.07 I was lucky enough to have a video tape ready for taping when Neil did this one on SNL (Nov 6/93 [rebroadcast]) The camera work was great. The only chords I could not see for certain was the Em and A for the chorus, but I'm pretty sure that's what they are. Chords Low E is tuned down to D.
B = beat h = harmonic v = strum down ^ = strum up I don't know the proper name for some of these strange chords, so I'll just tab the different parts. Part 1 - intro e -----------------------------09-09-09---09-09-09----| B ------10---12-12-12-12-------10-10-10---10-10-10----| G ------11---11-11-11-11-------11-11-11---11-11-11----| D ------12---12-12-12-12------------------------------| A ----------------------------------------------------| D --0----------------------0--------------------------| B B B B B B B B B v v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ ^ v ^ Part 2 - harmonics part e------h12-----------------| B----------h12-------------| G--------------h12---------| D----------------h12-------| A------------------h07-----| D--------------------------| Last 3 play as triplet.

Strumming pattern is the same for all the chords. Part 1 - intro X 4 Part 2 - harmonics Come a little bit closer Part 2 - harmonics Hear what I have to say Part 3 - D A Em ? progression X 2 Part 2 - harmonics Just like children sleepin' Part 2 - harmonics We could dream this night away Part 3 - D A Em ? progression X 2 G But there's a full ...
