Don't Let It Bring You Down
Neil Young

from the album After The Gold Rush
also on CSNY: 4 Way Street

Another alternate tuning offering. 

To play along with the record you need to retune to dropped standard
and then drop the 1st and 6th strings down a further tone/step giving
CGCFAC, though it works just as well in double dropped D (DADGBD).

The chord names listed relate to the standard shapes rather than the
pitch.



Tuning:
CGCFAC - standard tuning dropped down a tone and 1st and 6th strings
dropped a further tone.


Chord shapes:
D5      000230

F6sus2  33x010

Intro:
D5 / Cadd4 / / / D5 / F6sus2 / / / (play twice)


D5
Old man lying by the side of the road

         Dm7
With the lorries rolling by

Dsus4
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load

        Bb                   Am7
And the buildings scrape the sky

D5
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn

        Dm7
And the morning paper flies

Dsus4
Dead man lying by the side of the road

         Bb              Am7
With the daylight in his eyes

                       Gm7                     F6sus2
Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning

                        Em7
Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.


Repeat intro:


Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand
"Come on down to the river of sight"
And you can really understand
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone
Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.


Repeat intro:


D5 (rest)                 D5                      G5
   Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning

                        Em7
Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.


D5 / Cadd4 / / / D5 / F6sus2 / / /


D5 (rest)                 D5                      G5
   Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning

                        Em7
Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.
