Neil Young - Journey Through The Past

i worked this out by ear from the 1971 bbc sessions , and 1971 massey hall . the
other chords for this song were wrong so i thought i’d do this .
a very simple song , which follows the same pattern all the way through :

intro : D A G / D A D

D A G D
when the winter rains come pouring down , on that new home of mine

D A D
will you think of me , and wonder if i’m fine?

D A G D
will your restless heart come back to mine , on a journey through the past

D A D
will i still be in your eyes , and on your mind?

break : D A G / D A D

D A G D
now i’m going back to canada , on a journey through the past

D A D
and i won’t be back til’ february comes

D A G D
i will stay with you if you’ll stay with me , said the fiddler to the drum

D A D
and we’ll keep good time on a journey through the past

break : D A G / D A D

D A G D
when the winter rains come pouring down , on that new home of mine

D A D
will i still be in your eyes , and on your mind?

D A D
will i still be in your eyes , and on your mind?

neil plays this on piano , and there are a couple of licks he does in here such as :

– for the “g” in the into he is hitting A D and G repeatedly , then drop the G to
an F# , so : D G / D F# ( this is right above middle C )

– on the “d” for the intro and parts in the verses , he is hitting A D triad , so : D
F# A , then moving the top two notes up to G and B , then back down
ex . D F# A / D G B / D F# A ( this is below middle C )
