Chords

Tabbed by Bill Brown ([email protected]) 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|--------|-------|-------|
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)
