Needle and the damage done (2)
------------------------------
One of the first songs I ever learned on guitar!
This is not identical to what Neil plays on the record (his C/F
section is very slightly different) but your audience won't pick it.
Especially with your wailing emotional vocal over the top (so to speak).
The Needle and the Damage Done
by Neil Young, on Harvest (1972)
Intro and half-way interlude without vocals:
[I play this as an extremely regular alternate bass/high picking with
either a flat pick or two fingers; all notes (or pairs of notes in the
hammer-ons and slides) in what I outline here should have the same
duration]

the C and F chords are played (simplified) and the passage from the
concluding E chord to the D chord that starts off the next verse.]

Lyrics:
[I couldn't fit these too well under the tab, but knowing how to play
the tab and knowing the song (Texts of songs ) well should allow you to sing while
playing. To synchronize the lyrics and tab I have placed the approximate
chords on the text ( тексты песен на Tekst-pesni.ru ). But DO NOT try to just strum these chords; that
idea just does not work with this song (Texts of songs ): you must pick it!]
D D/C
I caught you knocking at my cellar door
D/B D/Bb
I love you baby, can I have some more
C F Esus4 E
Ooo ooo the damage done
D D/C
I hit the city and I lost my band
D/B D/Bb
I watched the needle take another man
C F Esus4 E
Gone, gone, the damage done
[repeat the intro without words]
D D/C
I sing the song (Texts of songs ) because I loved the man
D/B D/Bb
I know that some of you won't understand
C F Esus4 E
Milk, blood to keep from running out
D D/C
I've seen the needle and the damage done
D/B D/Bb
A little part of it in everyone
C F Esus4 E
But every junkie's like a setting sun
I caught you knocking at my cellar door,
I love you baby can i have some more
Oh-oh the damage done
I hit the city and i lost my van
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done
I sing the song (Texts of songs ) because i love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk blood to keep from running out
I've seen the needle and the damage down
A little part of it in everyone
Every junky's like a setting sun
notes: this is only a basic outlay - there are lots of variations you can do:
hammering on or not, using the 5th string (the root of the chord) or the
open 4th string (D) as the bass note, or to alternate.
eg (4th)0,0,0,0;(5th)3,(4th)0,0,0;(5th)2,(4th)0,0,0;(5th)1,(4th)0,0,0.
experiment! enjoy!
