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

Transcribed by Soenen Martijn (martijnsoenen@hotmail.com) 13:45 26/01/2001

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:

        DGCFAD			DGCFAD

Am7	x02010		Em      x22000
G  	320003		Em7     x22030
Fmaj7   xx3210		Am      x02210
C       x32010		F       133211


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 :)

    My  My, hey hey  			       Rock and roll is here to stay
    It's out of the blue and into the black    They give you this but you pay for that
    The king is gone but he's not forgotten    This is the story of a Johnny Rotten
    Hey Hey, my my                    	       Rock and roll can never die

    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
