Barstool Blues

Neil Young

[G]If [D]I could hold on to just one thought for [Am7]long enough to [G]know
[D]Why my mind is moving so fast and the [Am7]conversation is [G]slow
[C]Burn off all the fog and let the sun through to the [G]snow
[D]Let me see your face again [C]before I have to [G]go.

I have [D]seen you in the movies and in those [Am7]magazines at [G]night
I [D]saw you on the barstool when you [Am7]held that glass so [G]tight
And I [C]saw you in my nightmares, but I’ll see you in my [G]dreams
And I [D]might live a thousand years be[C]fore I know what that [G]means

INSTRUMENTAL: 1 verse

[D]Once there was a friend of mine who [Am7]died a thousand [G]deaths
His [D]life was filled with parasites and [Am7]countless idle [G]threats
He [C]trusted in a woman and on her he made his [G]bets
[D]Once there was a friend of mine who [C]died a thousand [G]deaths
