Topic: The Neil Young classic "Old Laughing Lady"

Neil uses the imagery of an Old Laughing Lady as a metaphor for Death in this bautiful song.  The lyrics evoke some great imagery and the whole metaphor ties together brilliantly in this song. What a great writer Neil is:

My bad, Sorry about that. Since these were available for free to the public from The Neil Young PDF songbook I didn't think there would be a problem posting. Anybody can download that PDF songbook. It is available for free and Neil Young is fully aware of it.  In fact when I met Neil last year and told him I play a bunch of his songs on YouTube he was stoked and encouraged me to keep it up. He has since watched some of my videos. After all it is huge marketing for him and I think he realizes that. Smart businessman.

Awsome All1song, just downloaded it, absolutely fantastic!  I've been thinking about listening to his music more recently, what better excuse can I get!

Re: The Neil Young classic "Old Laughing Lady"

This is pretty clear cut. If there is an issue  with the policy it's above my head. Please read;

"Chordie does not host songs. It is a search engine that formats songs it finds on the internet. There are several reasons for this (most of them legal).

Please read FAQs on chordie's 'Resources' page for a longer explanation.

This also means that NO LYRICS can be posted in this forum.

You are however allowed to post links to songs on the internet, and you are allowed to post one-liners explaining how to play a song.

Any posting of lyrics may result in Chordie having to shut down! I will therefore automatically delete the account (and the songbook) of persons violating this rule, as well as ban their domain from accessing Chordie.

Please report any violation of this rule immediately!"

Give everything but up.

Re: The Neil Young classic "Old Laughing Lady"

Hey, All1Song, great job. Ive been listening to Neil Young for more years than I`d like to count and have never heard that song before.
My kingdom to be able to sing and play the axe like you. Once again, great job.
