Pocahontas : Rust Never Sleeps/Neil Young (C tuning) Open C Strumming (accent on bottom strings) C strumming Accenting on bottom strings They killed us in our teepees And they cut our women down They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground But the firesticks and the wagons come And the night falls on the settin' sun C C Dm G7 riff C They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks In my little box at the top of the stairs With my indian rug and a pipe to share I wish I was a trapper I would give a thousand pelts To sleep with Pocahontas and find out how she felt In the mornin' on the fields of green In the homeland we've never seen C And maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire We'll sit and talk of Hollywood And the good things there for hire And the Astradome and the first teepee Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me G7 Riff C Pocahontas Open C tuning E ---- E B upto C G ---- G D down C A down G E down C Chords used: C xxoooo Dm xo2255 G7 oo2o2o Riff (after G7): E -----o-o--o-------------------------------------------| C -----o-o--o-------------------------------------------| G -----o-o--o-------------------------------------------| C -----------2------Oh2---------------------------------| G --0-2-3-------2---------------------------------------| C --------------------------0---------------------------| Tab memo: The riff is more strummed than picked as it replaces the chord. Make sure you get that open C note at the of the riff. At first it is a bit difficult to sing at the same time but you get the hang of it. There is some lead picking inbetween the verses which is pretty easy to work out if you play along with the record. There are mistakes in there and what I call a G7 or a Dm isn't a sure thing all I know is that it works, some one could correct me on these things it would be greatly appreciated. Another great song from Mr Young. Shayne Davis pootweet@hotmail.com Sydney Australia
