  Shots - Neil Young

  tabbed by Stan Southern

  

  Here are the chords and words to "Shots",

  the Boarding House 5/27/78 version.  

  This song is played in a "dropped" tuning

  (DGCFAD, instead of EADGBE).  However,

  the chords I have listed are those that

  would be played as if there was no dropped tuning.

  

  Thus, an Am as I have it written is really a 

  Gm I guess.  But it's a lot easier to play it

  in the dropped tuning.

  

  I can't remember the name of one chord - it's A something.

  I have it listed as A??, but it's really just 003210

  (it's that chord from My My Hey Hey)

  

  Thanks to Steve Vetter for motivating me to transcribe

  this.

  Am                 F

  Children

                     C          G                 Am       F

  Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands

            C                   E                Am       F

  Trying to join their father's castles together again

            C         G                    Am        F 

  Will they make it?  Who knows where or when

                  G

  Old wounds will mend 

  

  Am                F

  Shots

          C             G              Am         F

  Ringing all along the borders can be heard

         C           E            Am      F 

  Comin' down like a venom in the sky

                      C   G             Am        F    

  Cutting through the air faster than a bird

         G

  in the night

   

  Am           F

  Machines

      C                 G              Am         F

  Are winding their way along, looking strong

           C         E             Am          F   

  Building roads and bringing back loads

     C      G      Am       F

  of building materials

         G

  in the night

  

  

  Am      F

  Men

                C        G               Am         F

  Are trying to move the boulders on the ground

        C                     E                   Am      F

  lines between the different spots that each has found

           C            G               Am     F

  but back home another scene was going down

         G

  in the night

  

  Am      F

  Lust

        C                    G                Am       F

  Comes creepin' through the night to feed on hearts

              C         E             Am     F

  of suburban wives who learned to pretend

            C         G      Am      F

  when they met their dreams end

         G

  in the night

  

  

  Am             G             A??

  But I'll never use your love you know I'm not like that

  Am             G             A??

  and so if you give your heart to me

  Dm           E7

  I promise to you

  Dm           E7

  whatever we do

  A??         G         C       A??      C       A??

  that I will always be true

  

  

  Am                 F

  Children

                     C          G                 Am       F

  Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands

            C                   E                Am       F

  Trying to join their father's castles together again

            C         G                    Am        F 

  Will they make it?  Who knows where or when

                  G

  Old wounds will mend
