Tuning:  Standard (EADGBe)

This is all three guitar solos for Ohio by Neil Young.  I am almost positive that this
100% correct, including the timing.  After the last guitar solo, the lead guitar plays a
more over the singing, but I don't have that tabbed out yet.  I will most likely add
to this tab once I have it tabbed out though.

Neil Young- Ohio
Based on the live acoustic version from the Live at Massey Hall recording.

Tuning: This is where everyone seems to go wrong when making tabs of Neil's songs as he 
uses abnormal tuning settings. He frequently will use something called D modal tuning, 
by simply dropping the two E strings to D.

For this song I think he drops only the high e string to d (although the first part does 
pretty cool with the low D). This not only makes it sound better but it also makes the 
FAR easier to play as it is exactly the same as a normal G chord with regular tuning.


opening: In this version he is constantly picking the higher strings and adding in bass 
This is just an overview, listen to the song for the finer details. You can leave your 
on the 1st fret of the B string for this whole opening
                 ~D       F       C

Verse 1
   D                 C       G
   Tin soldiers, and Nixon's commin',

   D             C      G
   were finally, on our own.

   D              C        G
   This summer, I hear the drummin',

   D            C  G
   four dead in Ohio.
