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.

I don't know the proper name for some of these strange

chords, so I'll just tab the different parts.

[Intro]
(part 1)

e|-----------------------------09-09-09---09-09-09----|
B|------10---12-12-12-12-------10-10-10---10-10-10----|

[Chords progression]
(Part 3)

D A Em ? progression
e|---------2-2-2-2-2--2-----------2---2-2-2-----|
B|---------3-3-3-3-3--3---2-------2---2-2-2-----|
G|---------2-2-2-2-2--2---2-------2---2-2-2-----|

D|----0-----------------------------------------|
 B B B B B B B B B
v ^ v ^ v ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ v ^

e|--------|-------|-------|
B|--------|---2---|-------| Since the strumming pattern is
G|--------|---2---|-------| the same for this area too, I
D|---2----|---2---|-------| left it out.
A|---2----|-------|---5---|
D|---2----|-------|---5---|
Em A G (variation)

He drags his first few fingers back across the strings on the
up strum; so if you have nails, it sounds better.

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 moon risin'
G
Let's go dancing in the light

Part 1 - intro X 2

G
We know where the music's playin'
G intro (actually starts here)
Let's go out and feel the night

Part 1 - intro X 2

Em A
Because I'm still in love with you
Em
I want to see you dance again
A
Because I'm still in love with you
stop (and here)
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers

I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye

Because I'm still in love with you

I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

[Bridge]

intro X 2
G
D A E ? prog. X 1
