Tuning: E A D G B E
This song was written by Neil Young while he was in the band "Buffalo Springfield" and was
first released on the album, "Buffalo Springfield Again." That same recording was released again
under Neil's name in 1977 on the compilation album "Decade."
For the pre chorus, it appears according to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO3dMEY46eY
that Neil keeps his thumb on the on the 6th string (low E)
to do the F chords. *(As is notated with "T")
By the way the "e's" and the "a's" in, "1 e & a 2 e & a..." are not chords, they are
just a way of keeping track of the timing.
Broken arrow doesn't start on the album until 00:23 seconds into the song.
