 Song: Ambulance Blues
 Artist: Neil Young
 Album: On The Beach
 Tabbed by: Kris Pender
 Tune down 1 whole step (D G C F A D)
 
 This song, like most of Neil's acoustic numbers, should be played clawhammer style:
 downstrokes are hit with the edge of the thumb or pick, upstroke hit with middle
 finger (held in shape of a 'claw'). Downstrokes are marked ^

 Play this with variations throughout (e.g., Em to Em7, D to Dsus2, etc.)
 
 Other parts of song have straightforward picking pattern:
 
 [(G)]Oh, Isabella, proud Isabella,
 [(Am)]They tore you down and ploughed you under
 [(Bm)]You're only real with your make-up on [(C)]
 [(G)] How could I see you and stay too[(D)] long
