Song: One of These Days
Writer/Singer: Neil Young
Album: Harvest Moon

Transcribed by: Dean Malone

This is off Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" and is a pretty basic little
country strum. The parts in TAB can be inserted just about anywhere the
associated chords are played. The more often you play them, the more
interesting the song sounds. The 20 and 24 are second fret and then
hammered or pulled to the fourth so don't try and find the 24th fret.
Sing in your most melancholy voice and it should sound OK.

Bass Link (D-A)
D A->etc
E |----2-2---------|--------
B |----3-3---------|----2-2-
G |----2-2---------|----2-2-
D |0-------0-0-----|----2-2-
A |------------4---|0-------
E |----------------|--------

Use this rhythm throughout and the little (very little) bass run
everytime you follow the D chord with an A.

Fill (A-F#m)

A F#m (Bass Link)
One of these days
D
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
A F#m
To all the good friends
D
I've known
A F#m
And I'm gonna try
D
To thank them all for the good times together
A F#m
Though so apart
D
We've grown

(Chorus)
A
One of these days
Em
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
D B7
To all the good friends I've known

One of these days
A F#m (Fill II)
One of these days
A F#m
One of these days
D
And it won't be long
E
It won't be long

Fill (I) + (II if you want)

And I'm gonna thank
That old country fiddler
And all of those rough boys
Who play that rock'n'roll
I never tried
To burn any bridges
Though I know I let some
Good things go

(Chorus)
One of these days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
And it won't be long
It won't be long

>From down in LA
All the way to Nashville
New York City
To my Canadian prairie home
My friends are all scattered
Like leaves from an old maple
Some are weak
Some are strong

One of these days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
And it won't be long
It won't be long


(Repeat 3x)
A F#m
One of these days
A F#m
One of these days
A F#m
One of these days
D
And it won't be long
E
It won't be long
(End on A 3rd time)
