Neil Young — Red Sun Chords

Red Sun by Neil Young

Submitted by Martijn Soenen (martijnsoenen@hotmail.com)

I observed the Austin Texas video of Neil in 1999 good and after me there is a little riff
(actually the intro) that makes this song very beautiful. During the song it sounds very good
if you repeat the hammer—ons like the intro. Certainly during the chorus. eg. after the
"When the one who's coming arrives here at last" part.


TUNING: Dropped standard (DGCFAD). Sounds good with normal tuning as well.

VERSE:
         C       G           D        C
When the red sun sets on the Railroad town,
         D            Am7             G     C
And the bars begin to laugh with the happy sound;
               G          D       C
I'll still be here right by your side,
          D        Am7       G         C
There'll not be anyone in my heart but you.

CHORUS:
        D                          G             C
And the dreams that you have, they won't let you down,
       D           Em            C          D       C
If you just follow on 'cause you know where they're found;
    D                            G               C
The well will be flowing and the words will come fast,
         D         Em       C          D  C       PLAY INTRO HERE
When the one who's coming arrives here at last.

VERSE:
       C      G           D        C
On the grassy hill of the Railroad town,
         D          Am7             G        C
Where we cut through the fences and over the crown
       C           G             D           C
Where the wind was blowing right through your hair,
  D	         Am7        G        C
I dreamt that my mommy and daddy were there.

Chorus:
        D                          G             C
And the dreams that you have, they won't let you down,
       D           Em            C          D       C
If you just follow on 'cause you know where they're found;
    D                            G               C
The well will be flowing and the words will come fast,
         D         Em       C          D  C       PLAY INTRO HERE
When the one who's coming arrives here at last.
