Harvest Moon chords and TAB
The irresistible Harvest Moon was Neil Young‘s last big tune and definitely my favorite of his. Played in drop D tuning we are dealing with two chord riffs which both utilize that low open D string.
The first chord riff is played during the intro and instrumental sections as well as during verses 2 and 4. Here it is using TAB:
The second riff is played further down the neck, this is played during verses 1 and 3. It’s difficult to explain as we start with a D5, but once repeated the full D is held, follow the TAB and you’ll get it.
The chorus is just a G/A, followed by an A. Don’t forget to drop your low E to a D, use my chromatic guitar tuner.
