Originally tabbed for The Neil Young Song Book Project www.songx.se by:

This gives his first chord played a weird Em/D sound.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure the first Em bar of the song has five beats to it (5/4,
maybe 5/8), and that the second D bar has three beats (3/4?).
This repeats for the third and fourth bars but then rights itself to 4/4 time
for the rest of the song.

[G] [Em] [D] [D]
Well they [Em]say that Santa [D]Fe
it's [Em]less than ninety [D]miles away
and i've [Em]got time to [G]roll a number and r[A]ent a car
Oh [G]Al[aaaal[Em]ll - bu[D]querque
I've [Em]been flying [D]down the road
and I've [Em]been starving [D]to be alone
Independent [Em]from the [G]scene that [A]I've known
Oh [G]Al[aaaal[Em]ll - bu[D]querque
Instrumental & harmonica solo and pedal steel solo
So I'll [Em]stop when I [D]can
Find [Em]some fried eggs and [D]country ham
Em. G. D
I'll find somewhere where they don't care who I am.
Oh [G]Al[aaaal[Em]ll - bu[D]querque
Repeat last line a few times and fade
