There are several tabs of this on the internet but I don't like any of them
so I have written my own version. Standard tuning on E.
It mirrors pretty carefully what Neil played for MTV, but there are a few
changes. Mostly it seems to be that Neil strums some parts rather than
fingerpicking, but the fingering seems accurate.

I caught you knocking at my cellar door
I love you baby can I have some more?
Oh oh the damage done.
I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone gone, the damage done.
I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk blood to keep from running out
I seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun
I seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
Every junkie's like a setting sun
