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————————|———————|———————|
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
intro X 1

and finish up with slow strum of this chord:
(D with add ons)
