Letra de
Dont Let It Bring You Down

A música Dont Let It Bring You Down foi composta por Neil Young e faz parte do álbum After the Gold Rush de 1970. A letra reflete uma visão desolada e apocalíptica, mas ao mesmo tempo oferece um conselho otimista: não deixe que os problemas te derrubem. Em diversas entrevistas, Young mencionou que escreveu a música para mostrar contrastes entre a beleza e a decadência, a esperança e a desilusão.

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind rippling down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper fly
Dead man lying at the side of the road
And the daylight in his eyes

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down to the river of sight and
You can really understand

Red light flashin' through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in the gutter in the lane
And you're walking home alone

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning just
Find someone who's turning

And you will come around

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning just
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around


the emphasis here is _heavy_ on playability - the actual recorded version
is on piano - the closest we can get on guitar is the following:


or retune your guitar (to D) and change accordingly
