Mr. Soul by Neil Young recorded by Buffalo Springfield The main riff on the E is as follows: q q e e e q e q e e e e |--------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------| |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------| |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------| |-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0--------------------------| When it switches to A play: |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------| |-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------| |-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0----------| |----------------------------------------| each of these riffs is two measures long(4/4 time sig.) and the eighth(e) and quarter(q) notes indicate the approximate rhythm. Now, the rest of the song.... intro: /E/E/riff on E/... E Oh, hello Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason for the thought that I caught in my head is the event of the season A E Why in crowds just the trace of my face could seem so pleasin' D Dsus4 D A Asus4 A E(no riff) I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on (riff in E ...) I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her Any girl in the world could have easily known me better She said "You're strange, but don't change;" and I let her solo: /E/E/E/E/ (each / / is one measure of 4 beats) /E/E/E/E/ /F/F/F/F/ /A/A/A/A/ /E/E/E/E/ /D/A/E/E/ In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster Is it strange I should change I don't know why don't you ask her Dave Singer (dmsinge@erenj.com) | I'm not a musician....I'm a drummer.
