Subject: TAB: Neil Young - Mother Earth (improved)

Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)
Neil Young
tabbed by Steve Vetter and Randall Stewart
(transcribed from the _Ragged Glory_ book.)

This is the intro part of the song.  Use it again for the solo.
The chords indicated are not always fully strummed.  You just
have to kinda wing it.  Just Improvise a little and you'll have
it.

2/21/94:  OK, I have looked this over since the last time that I did it.
I know think that this is more right.  Listen and see.  I have also made some
lyrical corrections.  As always, comments and corrections are welcome.

G               C
Oh mother earth,
                    G
with your fields of green
               Em                 D
once more laid down by the hungry hand
             G  C               G
how long can you give and not recieve
                   D7        G
and feed this world ruled by greed
                   D7        G
and feed this world ruled by greed

G              C              G
oh ball of fire in the summer sky
             Em
your healing light
               D
your parade of days
           G     C              G
are they betrayed by the men of power
              D7                      G
who hold this world in their changing hand
              D7                      G
they hold the world in their changing hands

(riff)
G               C
oh freedom land
                 G
can you let this go
            Em
down to the streets
                  D
where the numbers grow
               G    C
respect mother earth
               G
and her giving ways
             D7              G
or trade away our children's days
             D7              G
or trade away our children's days
D              G    C
respect mother earth
                G
and her healing ways
             D               C   G
or trade away our children's days
