  This is the way I played it.  

  

  

                    Mr. Soul        by Neil Young

                                    recorded by Buffalo Springfield

  

  The main riff on the E is as follows:

    q   q   e e e q  e q  e e e e 

  |--------------------------------------------------------

  |--------------------------------------------------------

  |--------------------------------------------------------

  |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------

  |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------

  |-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0--------------------------

  

  

  When it switches to A play:

  

  |----------------------------------------

  |----------------------------------------

  |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------

  |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------

  |-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0----------

  |----------------------------------------

  

  each of these riffs is two measures long(4/4 time sig.) and the

  eighth(e) and quarter(q) notes indicate the approximate rhythm.

  

  Now, the rest of the song....

  

  intro: /E/E/riff on E/...

  

  E

  Oh, hello Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason

  

  for the thought that I caught in my head is the event of the season

  

         A                                              E

  Why in crowds just the trace of my face could seem so pleasin'

  

           D          Dsus4 D       A           Asus4 A     E(no riff)

  I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on

  

  

  (riff in E ...)

  I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter

  I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her

  Any girl in the world could have easily known me better

  She said "You're strange, but don't change;" and I let her

  

  solo: /E/E/E/E/      (each / / is one measure of 4 beats)

        /E/E/E/E/

        /F/F/F/F/

        /A/A/A/A/

        /E/E/E/E/

        /D/A/E/E/

  

  In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster

  Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster

  For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster

  Is it strange I should change I don't know why don't you ask her
