Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scored some friends along the way, did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
When all is said and done, I'm the one
Cocaine eyes won't hide your face
It's no surprise, you'll lose the race again, my old friend
It's a long hard road when your friends start to leave you behind It's a long hard road when you're tryin' to find peace of mind Some might go for poison, some go for too much stuff Some just go to sleep at night and forget to wake up
Have fun!
Shakey PS- for the acoustic version, Neil plays the Em, A intro and before returning to the Em chords, he plays these frets on the A string:
Em, A 0 2 3 3 2 0 Em, A 0 2 3 3 2 0 Em etc...
COCAINE EYES- Neil Young
Em A Em A (w/RIFF each time)
Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scored some friends along the way, did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today C D Em A Em A (w/RIFF each time) When all is said and done, I'm the one
It's a long hard road when you're tryin' to find peace of mind It's a long hard road when your friends start dropping like flies Some might go for poison, some go for too much love Some just go to sleep at night and forget to wake up
Em A 4 TIMES (w/RIFF)
CHORUS (barre chords):
Cocaine eyes won't hide your face
It's no surprise, you'll lose the race again, my old friend
REPEAT FIRST VERSE (add extra "I'm the one" at the end) CHORUS
NOTE: What I mean by the above riff explanation is this: The first part is strummed (trying to imitate up and down strums) then the 2 4 5... are individual notes played on the D string. This is from the solo acoustic, still unreleased version.
