  Shots - Neil Young
  tabbed by Stan Southern
  
  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.

  Children
                     C          G                 Am       F
  Are lost in the sand clearing roads with little hands
            C                   E                Am       F
  Trying to join their father's castles together again
            C         G                    Am        F
  Will they make it?  Who knows where or when
                  G
  Old wounds will mend
  
  Am                F
  Shots
          C             G              Am         F
  Ringing all along the borders can be heard
         C           E            Am      F
  Comin' down like a venom in the sky
                      C   G             Am        F
  Cutting through the air faster than a bird
         G
  in the night
  
  Am           F
  Machines
      C                 G              Am         F
  Are winding their way along, looking strong
           C         E             Am          F
  Building roads and bringing back loads
     C      G      Am       F
  of building materials
         G
  in the night
  
  
  Am      F
  Men
                C        G               Am         F
  Are trying to move the boulders on the ground
        C                     E                   Am      F
  lines between the different spots that each has found
           C            G               Am     F
  but back home another scene was going down
         G
  in the night
  
  Am      F
  Lust
        C                    G                Am       F
  Comes creepin' through the night to feed on hearts
              C         E             Am     F
  of suburban wives who learned to pretend
            C         G      Am      F
  when they met their dreams end
         G
  in the night
  
  
  Am             G             A??
  But I'll never use your love you know I'm not like that
  Am             G             A??
  and so if you give your heart to me
  Dm           E7
  I promise to you
  Dm           E7
  whatever we do
  A??         G         C       A??      C       A??
  that I will always be true
  
  
  Am                 F
