See the Girl Dance : Neil Young : Unsung Hero & 1971 BBC concert
This is not in the recorded key - i suspect Neil's guitar
could be tuned down to D, same shapes. On the other hand,
it's a very bad bootleg recording :-)
Strumming:
up-stroke /
down \
Av = xx5433
A6 = xx5435
As4 = 002230
A9hA = hammer on from 002200 to 002220
E/ means hit the tonic bass note hard!
You can figure out the bass notes to hit in the verses easy enough.
In the intro, give a quick up and down strum on an ordinary A,
before jumping down to A at fifth.

[Verse 1]
A D A
Never thought love had a rainbow on it

Used to think a cloud was a nightmare

That was up until when I first met you
E A
Now I go around hoping you care
[Chorus]
D Ds4 D
Dance, dance feel it all around you
D D9 A
Dance, dance, dance
D A
Never thought love had a rainbow on it
E A
See the girl dance
E A
See the girl dance
[Verse 2]
Mississippi mud never touched her fingers
California sand lies in her hand
Love her more than life as the daylight lingers
Early in the morning I'll be her man
[Chorus]
D Ds4 D
Dance, dance feel it all around you
D D9 A
Dance, dance, dance

Never thought love had a rainbow on it

See the girl dance
E A
See the girl dance
