Heart of gold lots  Neil Young


From: spxhaw@thor.cf.ac.uk (Howard Wright (???))

HEART OF GOLD : NEIL YOUNG
Intro:
Em7 / / / / / D / Em7 (Play twice)
Verse:
Em / C / D / G / (Play three times)
Em7 / / / / / G / C / / C G/B Am7 G (play twice)
For the harmonica bit, play the first line of the verse (3 times) then goto
the opening line once
Then verse two is as verse one
The only 'extra' is at the end where the vocals repeat the line:
"Keep me searching for a heart of gold, keep me searching and I'm growing old"
This is sung over the intro line again, so for this we have:
Em7 / / / / / D / Em7 (three times)
[Em7]              [G]         [C]            [G/B] [Am7] [G]If you listen to the record it should be clear how the lyrics change with the
chords. The only thing to suss out is the rhythm of the strumming.
For the intro you have 6 strong strums on the Em7 , two on D then back to Em7
listen to the record- it's pretty straight forward.
Here are the chord shapes:
02[Em7]2030    xx0[D]232    022[Em]000     032[C]010    32[G]0003   x2[G/B]000x   x[Am7]02010

I don't know who originally wrote this, I just added the riff after "old."
I got this from the book "Neil Youn for Guitar" or something like that.
The intro is an Em strum with a brief D: (each / represents a beat)
(This may actually be a Em7)
Repeat twice:
          [Em]    [Em]    [Em]    [Em]    [Em]    [Em]    [D]  [D] [Em]                                                                                                                                                                                           
e --------0---0---0---0---0---0-|-2-------2---0-----------------|
B --------0---0---0---0---0---0-|-3-------3---0-----------------|
G --------0---0---0---0---0---0-|-2-------2---0-----------------|

A --------2---2---2---2---2---2-|-------------2-------0-2----2--|
E 0-------0---0---0---0---0---0-|-------------0-----------------|

(Harmonica intro)
[Em]I want to [C]live, [D]I want to [G]give
[Em]I've been a [C]miner for a [D]heart of [G]gold
[Em]It's these ex[C]pressions [D]I never [G]give
[Em]That keep me searching for a [G]heart of [D]gold
[C]And I'm getting old
[Em]Keep me searching for a [G]heart of [D]gold

OK this is what I have for Heart of Gold
Strum an Em7 chord 6 times, then 2 on D, then one again on Em7
Here's the Em7 shape
  [EADGBE]022030
And D (in case you don't know)
  [EADGBE]xx0232
after the D and one on Em7 I think he plays an Em once (022000) then he picks
these notes:
D------2------
A--0h2--------
E--------0----

where you hammer on from the open A to the second fret
Then you go back to the beginning (6 on Em7, 2 on D, 1 on Em7, 1 on Em)
Hope this helps
Howard
