 Ride my Llama : Rust Never Sleeps

 to make it slightly easier, you might want to try the following changes:


 Evii         Dv Evii Dv Evii
 Remember the Alamo                E 779997    D 557775

 When help was on the way
 It's better here and now, I feel that good today

 E       D/E    E     D/E E
 I'd like to take a walk      		E 022100   D/E x02232
 But not around the block
 I really got some news....

 Am7
 I met a man from Mars				Am7 x02010

     C                G     D
 And he picked up all my guitars

                         Em(no third)
 And played me traveling songs		Em* 022x00

     Am7
 And when we got on ship

    B7s4/G
 He brought out something for the trip		B7s4/G x24253
 					22220(or5)3 is an alternative,
 				but not a good one, and not much easier :-(

 B7s4                        Em7(addA)/B
 He said, "it's old but it's good"	B7s4  x24252 or 222202

      C   CM7   G    Gsus2 E/A
 Like any other primitive  would  	CM7 032000  Gs2 300233
 							E/A 002100

 A      D   E
 Ah, ah,ah, ah 		(repeatedly hammer-on the A from A9 002200)

 Ah ah ah

 A  A9 A
 Ah ah ah

 A      D   E
 Ah, ah,ah, ah

 A  A9 A
 Ah ah ah

 A  A9 A
 Ah ah ah

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/neil_young/ride_my_llama_tab.html ]
 I'm gonna ride my Llama from Peru to Texarkana
 I wanna ride him good thru my old neighbourhood
 I'm gonna ride him good in my old neighbourhood
 I'm gonna ride him good in my old neighbourhood

 When we got on ship
 He brought out something for the trip
 And said,"It's old but it's good"
 Like any other primitive would
 Ah
