You and Me Neil Young
Tuning is drop D: DADGBE
I use triads for all but the C chords that end a line.
Major triads shapes used:
"D" shape "A" shape "E" shape
e--2-- 3rd e--5-- 5th e--10--| Root b--3-- Root b--7-- 3rd b--10--| 5th g--2-- 5th g--7-- Root g--11--| 3rd d----- d----- d------| a----- a----- a------| E----- E----- E------|
Minor triad shape(s) used:
"A" shape
e-----
b--7-- 3rd
g--7-- Root
d--7-- 5th
[a-----]
[E-----]
Intro:
Starts using an E-shape at the 8th fret sliding up to 10th (C to D) then slide back to
8th fret (D to C). This is followed A-shaped C at the 3rd fret sliding up to 5 (C to D)
then back to 3rd fret. Then an E-shaped G at the third fret followed by A-Shaped C at 3
and ending on a D chord which brings you to the start of the lyrics. I do play the top
three strings open for one
beat just before the D chord at the end of the intro.
So in short: C->D, D->C, C->D, D->C, G, C, (open strum G,B,E strings), D.
