Sugar Mountain

The guitar on Young's recording is tuned down (Open D maybe?)

The chord voicings played in the song are G, F, Dm etc but because of the 

different tuning they sound F, Eb, Cm etc respectively.



If you want to play in the same key like the recording without using a 

different tuning, transpose the chords here -2.





F(add9)  x-x-3-2-1-3
