Crime In The City Guitar Tabs by Neil Young

This is my first tab that I did by ear so yeah...

The whole song is pretty distorted so put your "gain" & "distortion" all the way up.  
the tabs I found had the opening played with messed up chords that all sounded terrible, I 
tabbed it so listeners can identify it.

~ = let it ring a little
b = bend
h = hammer on
p = pull off

Intro

Listen to the song to get the pattern, it really just sounds like messy picking, but 
well with the distortion.

( I'm not going to tab the solo because I suck at solos and it will take longer than 5 minutes :P )


Keep Repeating all of this Stuff as it is in the song...

So listen to the song, learn it, and play it...this song requires a lot of modifications 
the amp for the right sound...
Keep on Rockin in the Free World
