Neil Young - The Campaigner Chords

FI am a lonely visitor.

I cB♭ame to late to cause a stir,

though I cFampaigned all my lDmife towards that gB♭oal.

I hardly slept the nA7ight you wept;

Dmour secret's safe and Dm/Cstill well kept

Cwhere even Richard Nixon has got sDmoul.

B♭Even Richard Nixon has got sCoul.Dm    B♭        Dm            G

Traffic cops are all color blind.
People steal from their own kind.
Evening comes to early for a stroll.
Down neon streets the streaker streaks.
The speaker speaks, but the truth still leaks,
where even Richard Nixon has got soul.

Podium rocks in the crowded wawes.
The speaker talks of the beautiful saves
that went down long before he played this role
for the hotel queens and the magazines,
test tube genes and slot machines
where B♭even Richard Nixon has Cgot it,Dm soul.B♭    Dm        G

Hospitals have made him cry,
but there's always a free way in his eye,
though his beach just got to crowded for his stroll.
Roads stretch out like healthy veins,
and wild gift horses strain the reins,
where even Richard Nixon has got soul.
B♭Even Richard Nixon has got sCoul.Dm    B♭        G           B♭               A7                   Dm

I play it in D, though i think it might be capoed at the 2nd fret on
the lp.

Intro revolves around a D to D/E (lift your 2nd finger to let the high
E ring about 4 times) then a D/G (?) which i play by adding a G bass
on top of the same D structure on the 1st & 2nd strings

50 52 40 52  Bm  50 60  E

(that's the little bass riff)

The Bm/A chord i play by fretting a Bm at 2nd fret, then lift off
the barre and let the A and high E strings ring open.

that should get you there...where even richard nixon has got soul.
