Journey Through the Past Chords & Lyrics by Neil Young
Journey Through the Past
guitar chords lyrics
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
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
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
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)
