This is off Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" and is a pretty basic little

country strum. The parts in TAB can be inserted just about anywhere the

associated chords are played. The more often you play them, the more

interesting the song sounds. The 20 and 24 are second fret and then

hammered or pulled to the fourth so don't try and find the 24th fret.

Sing in your most melancholy voice and it should sound OK.



Bass Link (D-A)

   D                A->etc

E |----2-2---------|--------|

B |----3-3---------|----2-2-|

G |----2-2---------|----2-2-|

D |0-------0-0-----|----2-2-|

A |------------4---|0-------|

E |----------------|--------|



Use this rhythm throughout and the little (very little) bass run

everytime you follow the D chord with an A.

One of these days

D

I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter

A          F#m

To all the good friends

     D

I've known

A             F#m

And I'm gonna try

D

To thank them all for the good times together

A         F#m

Though so apart

      D

We've grown

One of these days

I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter

Fill (I) + (II if you want)



And I'm gonna thank

That old country fiddler

And all of those rough boys

Who play that rock'n'roll

I never tried

To burn any bridges

Though I know I let some

Good things go



(Chorus)

One of these days

I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter

To all the good friends I've known

One of these days

One of these days

One of these days

And it won't be long

It won't be long



>From down in LA

All the way to Nashville

New York City

To my Canadian prairie home

My friends are all scattered

Like leaves from an old maple

Some are weak

Some are strong



One of these days

I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter

To all the good friends I've known

One of these days

One of these days

One of these days

And it won't be long

It won't be long





(Repeat 3x)

A            F#m

One of these days

A            F#m

One of these days

A            F#m

One of these days

       D

And it won't be long

   E

It won't be long
