Heart of gold - Neil Young

Intro:
Finaly a correct intro, 'cause I saw Neil performing this live on television!

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:

Em7 D Em

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.

Em C D G
I want to live, I want to give
Em C D G
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
Em C D G
It's these expressions I never give

Em7 G
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
C Am G
And I'm getting old
Em7 G
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
C Am G
And I'm getting old


Em C D G
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
Em C D G
I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
Em C D G
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line


Em7 G
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
C Am G
And I'm getting old
Em7 G
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
C Am G
And I'm getting old


Em D Em
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
Em D Em
You keep me searching and I'm getting old
Em D Em
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
Em G
I've been a miner for a heart of gold


You can end with this little riff:

Am G
