Journey Through The Past by Neil Young - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Neil Young Song List

Version 1

            I worked this out by ear from the 1971 BBC Sessions, and 1971 Massey Hall. The 
other chords for this song were wrong so I thought I'd do this.
A very simple song, which follows the same pattern all the way through:

[Intro]  D A G / D A D
           
[Verse 1]
           D                 A               G                D
When the winter rains come pouring down, on that new home of mine
           D                A             D
Will you think of me, and wonder if I'm fine?  
             D                 A                   G                 D
Will your restless heart come back to mine, on a Journey through the Past
         D               A                 D
Will I still be in your eyes, and on your mind?

[Break] D A G / D A D

[Verse 2]
         D             A             G                  D
Now I'm going back to Canada, on a Journey through the Past 
       D                   A        D
And I won't be back til' February comes 
        D                       A                       G             D
I will stay with you if you'll stay with me, said the fiddler to the drum
          D                     A                  D
And we'll keep good time on a Journey through the Past

[Break] D A G / D A D

[Verse 3]
           D                A                G               D  
When the winter rains come pouring down, on that new home of mine
         D               A                 D
Will I still be in your eyes, and on your mind?
         D               A                 D
Will I still be in your eyes, and on your mind?

Neil plays this on piano, and there are a couple of licks he does in here such as:

- for the "G" in the into he is hitting a D and G repeatedly, then drop the G to 
an F#, so:      D G / D F#   (this is right above middle C)

- on the "D" for the intro and parts in the verses, he is hitting a D triad, so: D 
F# A, then moving the top two notes up to G and B, then back down
ex. D F# A / D G B / D F# A   (this is below middle C)
