I wrote this song in Detroit about four years ago. This is an old song. At the White Tower restaurant at about four o'clock in the morning at the corner of Livernois and something. The Chess Mate Club was there. We had come out of the Chess Mate Club and found out that someone had left with part of our car and we had to wait for a while in this restaurant. We had to wait for almost a day. It was out-of-sight. Guys propositioning me at four o'clock in the morning. I wrote it out on a napkin in true folk tradition. Sounds very good. And then I went home and put it in D-modal tuning which was very hip. At the time, everything was in D-modal. You know what D-model tuning is? You tune the E strings on each end down to D. Leave the other ones where they are. And play as if nothing ever happened. And you get D-modal. Everything sounds different because it's tuned different Neil Young The Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA November 10, 1968
