The Needle And The Damage Done tab - neil young

PROPS GO TO: JohnA

Author/Artist: Neil Young
Title: Needle and the Damage Done
Album: Unplugged
Transcribed by: John Appleby

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

Neil Young Needle and the Damage Done Lesson Guitar Tutorial
This is for anyone who wants to learn the fret fingering for Neil Young's great song: The Needle and the Damage Done. It does not show the picking (which is fairly straightforward). I use a single plectrum in this example. Not perfect, of course - and I'm playing too fast. The slow version at the end is probably closer to the correct speed. I Hope I've done it justice and that you enjoy it! For the guitar enthusiasts amongst you, I'm playing a Japanese Flambeau LFW-1 (830371) which I bought ...
