Chords for When You Dance I Can Really Love - Neil Young Guitar Lesson

Hey, how's it going?
Let's take a look at
When you dance I can really love from after the gold rush, which I think is a
Unbelievable song that's completely underrated and underappreciated
For this song you're in
What Neil calls D modal which is when you tune both of your e strings [D] down to a D.
So it's drop
Drop D on top which he does on a lot of songs, but this one
_ Yeah uses it as well, here we go
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] _
[D] _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] You
_ [C] _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [D] _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ [Bb] _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [E] You Okay, so
_ [G] This intro this kind of the main riff here
You're playing a D on the G string and then a G on the B string and
The open e which is a D note now, so you've got
_ _ [D] _ And [G] really you're only playing this string so you don't accidentally hit an open G because
_ [B] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] Ggf [G]-sharp
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [C] _ [G] With that [C] open D string on top _ _
_ [D] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ and this is a G but because of this tuning
_ You'd play the fifth fret [D] on the low e
Fifth fret on the a string [G] open on the D open on the G [D] third fret on the B
and then open on the [G] e it's like a
Huge [E] weird way to play [G] a G power chord
_ _ _ It's not that [Bm] which is the major third on the B string [C] which comes in later, but this _ [G] is
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [G] a little
Second fret to the fourth fret on the G
_ [Bm] _
[N] A
Little bend on [G] the fifth fret on the G _ _ _ _
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ That _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [Bm]
riffs a bit different this little pickup which is sort of the exact same as the riff we [E] just did
[G] _ _ [C] _ [G] That's _ _ _ _ _ _ the first chord
[D] _ _
[B] You slide up to hitting an a [G] on the B string
[D] _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] And down to a D.
So you get sort of a unison at the end
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [E] And now those next two chords [A] which are super cool
[G] [A] You [G] do this
So _ [D] _ [G] _
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ this is a G power chord, but then you go to this other way to play G.
It's a G major
But you play it like [C] a C
[G] Open C, but in the 10th fret position.
So this is a G chord
But _ G major here's your B note makes it major
_ _ _ strum from the a string down _
And then you go to a B flat
[Fm] Major so you're playing
[Dbm] again because of [Bb] this tuning
You're [Ab] playing instead [Gm] of the sixth fret for B flat.
[F] You have to play eight and then eight
[B] on the a string
So we're just gonna mute the D and then we're playing the seventh fret on the [Bb] G
And the sixth fret on the B and then open here
_ So [G] that's kind of cool because you go from a G major
_ _ [D] _ [Bb] _ [F] To [G] this B flat which is sort of a weird you normally would be G minor and then B flat but you get this neat _
[Bb] _ Dissonant [B] thing [G] with okay, [Bb] _
_ [Dm] then the verse part you're _ kind of doing this first chord [C] from old man this this
[F]
It's sort of a
D fifth shape where you're not playing anything on the high E
[Eb] [D] But in [F] this one because we have that open
D string down
_ _ Get sort of a different color than then when you're playing it like an old main where that's an E
Because [D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D]
we're tuned to D.
We can just hit the whole thing when [Dm] you're in this class _ _ _
[Gm] _ And it's a G minor
[G] or G minor seventh, I guess depends on how you play it, but
[Bb] _ [Bbm] Yeah, [Gm] it's that _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Bb] _ _
And _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
[F] that _ [G] _ _ _ [C] so and then [D] the C obviously
[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] That's F and then [F] G but again we have to do this
different low note because the
[Dm] Open _
_ [C] _ _ E with which is a deep
_ [F] _
_ [G] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ [D] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [C] [G] Gb flat thing
[Bb] and [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [E]
[D] the pre-chorus _ You're playing
_ Really a D here
D fifth kind of _ _ She's just
[A] _ [D] 12
Sort of _
This _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ is a C major, but you have to again do that same weird shape [G] [Bb] with a [C] D on it [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Am] a Minor seven
_ [A] _ [C] Back _ _ [Dm] _ _ to that [N] old man D minor [Gm] 7
_ _ G minor [Bb] B flat
[C] _
[G] See or you could do [Dm] it this way when you
[Gm] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ [D] That's
Pretty [G] much the whole [F] song and then there's a [D] _ _ [G] [F] quick [D] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ [D] _ _
[Db] open before [C] you go to that
_ [F] _ [D] _ _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ [Dm] _ [G] _ _
[E] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ [E] I
Kept playing [C] that no wrong, but [G] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ those are pretty much all the parts to it.
I think that's it.
Anyway.
