  16 <h1 class="songtitle">Bandit</h1>
  17 <p>Written by Neil Young<br />
  18 Performed solo, live, during the European spring tour 2003 (when is Bob going to do that...?)<br />
  19 Tabbed by Eyolf &Oslash;strem</p>
  20 <hr />
  21 <p>This is one of the highlights of the &quot;Greendale&quot; set. The tab is
  22 based on the shows from Oslo (25/4) and Frankfurt (1/5). The dotted lines are
  23 &quot;place-holders&quot; indicating the &quot;lines&quot; that are not sung.</p>
  24 <p>Tuning: Bb-F-Bb-Eb-g-Bb<br />
  25 This is equivalent to double drop D tuning, with all the strings tuned two whole
  26 steps (four frets) down from there. The outer strings, then, are three whole
  27 steps (six frets) lower than standard tuning. In Joni Mitchell's shorthand
  28 system, which gives the lowest string and the number of frets between each
  29 string pair, it would be Bb75543</p>
  30 <p>Chords (named as if this was Double drop D tuning, since those chord names
  31 will be more familiar to most people): </p>

  35 A        x02222
  36 G        550000</pre>
  37
  38 <p>The chords in the second chorus have been indicated with their fingering;
  39 they are basically the same shape moved up and down according to the melody -
  40 quite simple, but to great effect.</p>

  76 Wrapping up dope
  77 In a paper bag.
  78 Talking to yourself.
  79 Taking a drag.
  80 What does it matter the things you say.
  81 I'll never hear it anyway.
  82
  83 Gotta get past
  84 The negative things.
  85 Lawyers and business,
  86 You get what you bring.
  87 No one's sorry, you did it yourself.
  88 It's time to relax now, and then give it hell.</pre>

 150 No one can touch you now.
