Ab
Pretty Nova, one year over
Bb Eb
Legal age of consent
Ab
In the flower of sweet youth our
Bb Eb
Days of heaven were spent
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Ab
Rock 'n' Roll, and freeing your soul, and
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Ab Bb
I'm looking 'round for that sixties sound -
Eb
Those days are gone
Ab Bb
And all us acid dropping, world stopping, be bopping
Freaks are just hanging on
Ab
Little Nova, did you have to show the
Bb Eb
Whole world how to rebel?
Ab
Standing there with your long brown hair
Bb Eb
Like a cool breeze blowing through hell
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Ab
Back in those days we all were so crazy
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
|Ab |Ab |Bb |Eb |

Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Ab
Ooooooowh
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Ab Bb
Seems like the whole world's at a fire sale
Eb
But I might be wrong
Ab Bb
With all the home shopping, Bling bling and hip hopping
Maybe it's just going strong
Ab
But hey now Nova, we both know the
Bb Eb
Ones who're always making it pay
Ab
Well any fool can sell a jewel
Bb Eb
But an angel will give it away
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Ab
Oooooooh I'm going go down singing
Bb Eb
And giving that heaven away
|Ab |Ab |Bb |Eb |
|Ab |Ab |Bb |Eb |
Ab
Where did the day go in that Winnebago?
Bb Eb
The two of us hot as a stove
Ab
Fools for pleasure, digging for treasure
Bb Eb
Down in that Black Oak grove
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away
Ab
Oooooooh
Bb Eb
Giving that heaven away

Just wanted to say the tuning is Open Eb (Open D up a half step or Open E down one, Eb Ab Eb G Ab Eb).
Voicings are: Ab is 0 2 0 1 0 0 (an inversion and really Ab add9, but what JB uses - looks like an E7 in Standard) Sometimes he plays Ab with a half-bar at the 5th fret, that turns out to be 555x00 (this time it's really an add9 with no 3rd)
Bb is avtually an inversion too, and the dominant seventh. Browne plays it either 2 0 2 1 0 0 or half-bar at 7th, 777x00
He messes with the harmonics a lot. Also, the half-bar tends to mute the 3rd string for you. All voicing numbers are sixth (thickest) to first (thinnest).
