This is the way I played it.
Mr. Soul by Neil Young
recorded by Buffalo Springfield
The main riff on the E is as follows:
q q e e e q e q e e e e
|--------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------------------------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5--------------------------
|-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0--------------------------
When it switches to A play:
|----------------------------------------
|----------------------------------------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------
|-2---2---2-2-4-5--4-5--4-5-4-5----------
|-0---0---0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0----------
|----------------------------------------
each of these riffs is two measures long(4/4 time sig.) and the
eighth(e) and quarter(q) notes indicate the approximate rhythm.
Now, the rest of the song....
intro: /E/E/riff on E/...
E
Oh, hello Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason
for the thought that I caught in my head is the event of the season
A E
Why in crowds just the trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
D Dsus4 D A Asus4 A E(no riff)
I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on
(riff in E ...)
I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said "You're strange, but don't change;" and I let her
solo: /E/E/E/E/ (each / / is one measure of 4 beats)
/E/E/E/E/
/F/F/F/F/
/A/A/A/A/
/E/E/E/E/
/D/A/E/E/
In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change I don't know why don't you ask her

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
