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.
CHORDS:
C x32010
G 320003
D xx0232
D/F# 200232
Am7 x02010
Em 022000

VERSE:
When the [C]red sun [G]sets on the [D]Railroad [C]town,
And the b[D]ars begin to [Am7]laugh with the h[G]appy s[C]ound;
I'll still be h[G]ere right b[D]y your s[C]ide,
There'll n[D]ot be any[Am7]one in my [G]heart but [C]you.
CHORUS:
And the [D]dreams that you have, they [G]won't let you [C]down,
If you [D]just follow [Em]on 'cause you [C]know where [D]they're [C]found;
The [D]well will be flowing and the [G]words will come [C]fast,
D Em C D C PLAY INTRO HERE
When the one who's coming arrives here at last.
VERSE:
On the [C]grassy [G]hill of the [D]Railroad [C]town,
Where we [D]cut through[Am7] the fences and [G]over the [C]crown
Where t[C]he wind was [G]blowing right [D]through your[C] hair,
I [D]dreamt that my [Am7]mommy and d[G]addy were[C] there.
Chorus:
And the [D]dreams that you have, they [G]won't let you [C]down,
If you [D]just follow [Em]on 'cause you [C]know where [D]they're [C]found;
The [D]well will be flowing and the [G]words will come [C]fast,
D Em C D C PLAY INTRO HERE
