Chords for Nils Lofgren playing long may you run

_ _ _ _ I did a bridge benefit with the Harvest Moon Band.
_ Beautiful record.
I was just thrilled to play those songs.
_ _ And then a few months later, _ I heard they did an MTV Unplugged in New York.
I was like, oh, that's cool.
That would have been fun to do.
_ _ _ And then I got a call from LA saying, look,
Neil hated the MTV thing in New York.
It's not coming out.
_ We've talked him into trying it again in LA, and he'd like you to participate. _ _
So it's just one of those things out of the blue. _
I went to LA and got to do the MTV Unplugged,
which was basically based on the Harvest Moon Band and that body of songs.
Yeah, we did other songs.
Back, Long May You Run.
Brilliant song, and we had a live audience, and we'd started twice,
and Neil stopped the audience.
I'm sorry, stopped the audience.
Stopped the band.
_ Said, this isn't happening.
Let's move on.
And he looked down to call the next song, and that's one of my favorite songs.
I was horrified.
I said, wait a minute.
I mean, I gently interrupted and said,
please _ don't skip _ Long May You Run.
He said, well, it's not feeling right.
I said, well, yeah, but let's not skip it.
Let's take the time to make it feel right.
I said, well, you count it off.
So I counted it off, and it wound up being the take that was on the MTV Unplugged.
One of the few times I've begged Neil not to abandon a song on the set list.
He's got so many, but I just, that was one of my favorites.
