Shots - Neil Young
Here are the chords and words to "Shots",
the Boarding House 5/27/78 version.
This song is played in a "dropped" tuning
(DGCFAD, instead of EADGBE). However,
the chords I have listed are those that
would be played as if there was no dropped tuning.
Thus, an Am as I have it written is really a
Gm I guess. But it's a lot easier to play it
in the dropped tuning.
I can't remember the name of one chord - it's A something.
I have it listed as A??, but it's really just 003210
(it's that chord from My My Hey Hey)
Thanks to Steve Vetter for motivating me to transcribe
this.
