                     The Needle and the Damage Done
                    by Neil Young, on Harvest (1972)
 
 
 Intro and half-way interlude without vocals:
 [I play this as an extremely regular alternate bass/high picking with
  either a flat pick or two fingers; all notes (or pairs of notes in the
  hammer-ons and slides) in what I outline here should have the same
  duration]

 Verses:
 [Note how the first strip of tab is identical; what changes is the way
  the C and F chords are played (simplified) and the passage from the
  concluding E chord to the D chord that starts off the next verse.]
