Guitar Chords, Strumming, Harmonica Tabs Plus A Jam
Long May You Run is from the 1976 album of the same name by the Stills-Young Band.
The album was to be a reunion album for CSNY but Crosby and Nash left before the project finished to work on their own album.
Young wrote the song in memory of his first car, Mort, which was a 1948 Buick Roadmaster Hearse.
Lyrics, chords and tabs are under the Help File link above.
Video Intro
Hey, George here.
Welcome to this video where I show you how I play Neil Young’s Long May You Run on guitar and harmonica.
I’m going to go through the guitar chords and give you a rhythm to play on that.
I’ll pick out a harmonica. The song’s got a great little harmonica intro right off the top so I’ll demonstrate and tab through that. I will also demonstrate and tab through the melody.
Once we’ve done all that, we’ll put it all together and play through it.
Have fun.
