Subject: CRD: World on a String (Neil Young)
I actually posted this transcription some time ago, but considering its
correctness compared to the version at OLGA, I just thought it needed a
repost. I think it's a nifty little tune, well picked by Neil for his
Unplugged concert. Try it out!
World on a String [Unplugged] - Neil Young

It's just a game you see me play
F/A C G6 D
Only real in the way that I feel from day to day
Although the answer is not unknown
I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown
It's not all right, to say good-bye
And the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
No the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
Only real in the way that I feel from day to day
lyrics: from the c-d sleeve
chords: audio
