Heart of Gold - Neil Young

I don't know who originally wrote this,  I just added the riff after "old."  
I got this from the book "Neil Youn for Guitar" or something like that.  


The intro is an Em strum with a brief D:  (each / represents a beat)
(This may actually be a Em7)

Repeat twice:
          Em  Em  Em  Em  Em  Em  D       D   Em
  /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /   /

[Harmonica intro]

Em        C     D         G
I want to live, I want to give
Em          C           D        G
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
Em           C         D       G
It's these expressions I never give
Em                           G        D
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
C                    G
And I'm getting old
Em                      G        D
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
C                  (riff)  G
And I'm getting old
