Neil Young "No More"
Tabbed by Aaron Fritschner
Tuning: DADGBD
Three general notes should be made:
1) I transcribed the notes as I did the way I heard them, and as they seemed convenient,
but many will sound or feel better on different strings.
2) This is the studio version. I believe that Neil has played the song this way exactly
once, when he made the recording. So these are really just guidelines, and it should be
played as you feel it, not as you hear it.
3) This song is a song about possession, played with feeling. If you're having a good
day, I would recommend a different song.
First off there's the main (chorus) riff, bar 12 (G), bar 10 (F), bar 3 (Bb), bar 5 (C)
four times. Then the progression is D5, Bb, C, D5 in the verses, then Dm, Am7 in the
pre-chorus, then the chorus riff, and a hard D5 finally when he says "No More". Sorry
to repeat what's already around, but it'll save you the trouble of looking if you didn't
know it by heart.
So, the fills!

It wouldn't set me free

Where did the magic go?
I searched high and low
I can't find it no more
I can't get it back
I can't find it no more
I can't find it no more
No more
No more
No more
No more

That's how the story goes
Can't put it down
'Til the last page
I can't put it down
I can't put it down
I can't put it down
Neil does his Old Black thing for the last minute of the song.
That's it, my favorite Neil electric song. Enjoy!
