Pardon My Heart
Neil Young (From the album 'Zuma'(1975

Tabbed by:James McKinnon

Tuning: CGCFAC (Dropped D tuning [DADGBD] taken down a whole step (2 frets).

(Note: Because Neil's playing style is a loose combination of strumming and
picking, I have just tabbed the basic chord formations with some single notes
that stand out in the playing. Have a listen to the record. You'll know what 
to do.)

Additional verses:

It's a sad communication
With little reason to believe
When one isn't giving
And one pretends to receive.

Pardon my heart
If I showed that I cared
But I love you more than moments
We have or have not shared

(Chorus variation on last verse)

(You brought it all on) And it feels so good
(You brought it all on) When love flows the 
way that it should.
