Red Sun by Neil Young
Submitted by Martijn Soenen (martijnsoenen@hotmail.com)
I observed the Austin Texas video of Neil in 1999 good and after me there is a little riff
(actually the intro) that makes this song very beautiful. During the song it sounds very good
if you repeat the hammer-ons like the intro. Certainly during the chorus. eg. after the
"When the one who's coming arrives here at last" part.
TUNING: Dropped standard (DGCFAD). Sounds good with normal tuning as well.

VERSE:
C G D C
When the red sun sets on the Railroad town,
D Am7 G C
And the bars begin to laugh with the happy sound;
G D C
I'll still be here right by your side,
D Am7 G C
There'll not be anyone in my heart but you.

CHORUS:
D G C
And the dreams that you have, they won't let you down,
D Em C D C
If you just follow on 'cause you know where they're found;
D G C
The well will be flowing and the words will come fast,
D Em C D C PLAY INTRO HERE
When the one who's coming arrives here at last.
VERSE:
C G D C
On the grassy hill of the Railroad town,
D Am7 G C
Where we cut through the fences and over the crown
C G D C
Where the wind was blowing right through your hair,
D Am7 G C
I dreamt that my mommy and daddy were there.
Chorus:
D G C
And the dreams that you have, they won't let you down,
D Em C D C
If you just follow on 'cause you know where they're found;
D G C
The well will be flowing and the words will come fast,
D Em C D C PLAY INTRO HERE
When the one who's coming arrives here at last.
