Neil Young – Leave The Driving (Guitar Solo)

F          C         D5       F      C           D5
Out on the old coast highway, flying through the night,

F       C              D5       F            C        D5
Jed got stopped by the CHP, for speedin' and no brake lights.

F               C        D5      F           C        D5
Rolled down the driver's window; slipped his gun down under his seat.

    F             C       D5           F         C       D5
The glove-box was full of cocaine; the trunk was full of weed.

F                     C    D5                 F            C        D5
"Driver's license and registration," said the officer with his flashlight.

F                    C            D5   F             C               D5
Searchin' around the floor of the car; smellin' like something ain't right.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
Jed's life flashed before him, like a black and white super-8.

   F         C            D5           F            C       D5
He heard the sound of the future, on a scratchy old seventy-eight.

F          C               D5               F          C         D5
Nothing was still, all was moving, when the flashlight found the gun.

F        C          D5            F            C      D5
Then Jed pulled the trigger, in a split-second tragic blunder.

F             C           D5      F         C      D5
"It makes you think about living, what life has to tell,"

F    C      D5      F       C        D5
Said Jed to Grandpa, from inside his cell.

F          C           D5      F        C        D5
Camouflage hung in his closet. Guns all over the wall.

F          C            D5               F            C          D5
Plans for buildings and engineers, and a book with no numbers at all.

F          C       D5            F                C           D5
The whole town was stunned; they closed the Coast Highway for 12 hours.

F    C           D5        F       C      D5
  No one could believe it; Jed was one of ours.

F          C         D5     F             C    D5
Meanwhile across the ocean, living in the Internet,

       F        C     D5     F      C         D5
Is the cause of an explosion no one has heard yet.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
But there's no need to worry. There's no reason to fuss.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
Just go on about your work now. And leave the drivin' to us.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
And we'll be watching you, and everything you do.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
And you can do your part, by watchin' others too.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
Grandpa put down the paper,staring in disbelief.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
Jed had always been good to him; never gave him any grief.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
The moral of this story is try not to get too old.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
The more time you spend on earth, the more you see unfold.

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
And as an afterthought, this must, too, be told,

F          C         D5               F               C     D5
Some people have taken pure bullshit, and turned it into gold.
