My my, Hey hey (Neil Young Live performed on Rust Never Sleeps and Live Rust 1978)

NOTES: This is a quite good transcription of the song (a tribute to Johny Rotten)
I guess, allthough I think I made some very little mistakes. If you can correct
them, please mail me. Neil plays this song tuning his guitar to the dropped D
tuning (DGCFAD) but if you play it in standard tuning as I do it will work out
as well. I have put the song in tab but at the bottom of this page you can see
it as well with ordinary chords. Sometimes less is more.

CHORDS used in this song:

You can play the intro in three different ways but I guess the first is the most accurate.
You can use the others if you think the first is too difficult :)

    It's better to burn out        Than to fade away
    And once you're gone you can                never come back
    It's better to burn out                     than it is to rust
    There's more to the picture                 Than meets the eye (or: rust never sleeps)

    My  My, hey hey
