Chords for Neil Young - Sugar Mountain (Live) [Official Audio]

I'm going to try to do something now _ with you [F#] people, _ where we sing together.
Because I did it last night and it worked, you know.
So, you know, I usually don't do it, but it worked last night, so maybe it'll work tonight. _
[D#] The name of the song is Sugar Mountain.
I don't know if you ever heard it.
[C#] _
[E] It wasn't on any albums.
_ [D#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] The reason that it wasn't on any albums is [F] because I didn't particularly like it very much.
_ [F#] No, [D#] that's not [F] true.
How can I say that about [F#] my own little creation? _ _ _
[B] _ [F#] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _
[G#] Well, I wrote it five years ago, on my [C#] 20th birthday. _
[D#] _ _ And [Am] I don't feel the same way about [B] a lot of things now as I did then.
[C#] So I'm, _ you know, [G#] I'd feel better if you sort of sang [D#m] along with me.
[C#] Just to sort of make myself less conspicuous.
[F#] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C#] _ [A#m] If you don't know the [N] words, just, you know, you're all university students.
Just memorize them after the [C#] first time. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ Oh, to live [E] on Sugar Mountain
[F#] _ With the barkers [E] and the colored [C#m] balloons
[F#] You can't be 20 on Sugar [C#m] Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon _ _
You're leaving there too [F#] soon _ _ _
_ That was really gross, folks. _ _ _ _
Right here in Shakespeare's own place. _ _ _
_ _ _ But if you can live with it, I guess it's alright. _
It's not that serious. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's so noisy [E] at the fair
[C#m] But all your [F#] friends are there
[B] _ And the candy [E] floss you had
And your mother [C#m] and your [F#] dad _ _
[F#] Oh, to live [E] on Sugar Mountain
[F#] _ With the barkers and the [C#m] colored balloons
[F#] You can't be [E] 20 on Sugar Mountain
[G#m] _ Though you're thinking that you're leaving [F#] there too soon
_ _ [C#m] You're leaving there too soon _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ When I wrote this song, _ I wrote 126 verses. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Every six months I have a meeting in my head.
I decide what I'm going to, you know, what makes it, [F#] what doesn't.
What's happening here. _ _
The whole meeting was taken up with trying to figure out which verses to use.
Nothing else ever got even brought up.
_ _ _ And I was only 20 years old.
And the verses were all so bad that I couldn't decide. _
_ _ _ But this verse here, _ _ _ I decided to use because I thought out of 126,
it was the worst one.
I thought it rated some merit there. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now you're underneath the [C#m] stairs
And you're giving back some glares
_ To the people that you met
[C#m] And it's your first [F#] cigarette
Get it? _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [D#m] _ _ [F#] Now if I can stand up here in this great theater
in front of you university students and sing something like that,
and you can't sing with me when I sing this part,
there's a little imbalance somewhere. _ _
[F#] Oh to live [E] on Sugar Mountain
Yeah, sing it with me.
Woo, sing it with me. _ _ _
[F#] Oh to live [E] on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored [C#m] balloons
[F#] You can't be 20 [E] on Sugar Mountain
[C#m] Though you're thinking that you're leaving there [F#] too soon
_ [G#m] _ [E] Now _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ you say you're [E] leaving home
Cause you want to [F#] be alone _
Ain't it funny how you [E] feel
When you're finding out it's real
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh to live on Sugar Mountain _
With the barkers and the colored [C#m] balloons
[F#] You can't be 20 on Sugar [C#m] Mountain
Though you're thinking that you're leaving [F#] there too soon _
[C#m] You're leaving there too [F#] soon _
Let's do it once more for William Shakespeare. _ _ _
_ _ Real loud like it was Willie's 20th birthday, folks.
_ Oh to live [E] on Sugar [F#] Mountain
With the barkers and the [C#m] colored balloons
[F#] You can't be 20 [E] on Sugar Mountain
[G#m] Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon
_ [G#m] You're leaving there [F#] too soon
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [F#] _ _ _
[G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
