E |--0-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|---------------0-----------------|

After you played this two riffs you can go over in progression with
the Em,C,D,G chords along with the harmonica. Do that 3 times and play the first piece of the intro tab:

Em7 D Em

e |--------0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
B |--------3---3---3---3---3---3---3-|-3---(3)---3---0-----------------|
G |--------0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|-2---(2)---2---0-----------------|
D |--------2---2---2---2---2---2---2-|-0---(0)---0---2------------0h2--|
A |--------2---2---2---2---2---2---2-|---------------2-------0h2---h2--|
E |--0-----0---0---0---0---0---0---0-|---------------0-----------------|

This is an examples of how you can eventually play the verses:
Play the chorus in the rhytm like the intro.

Em C D G

e |----------------0---0--(0)-----|------2---(0)--3---3---(0)-------|
B |----------------1---1--(0)-----|------3---(0)--0---0---(0)-------|
G |---------0------0---0--(0)-----|--2---2---(0)--0---0---(0)-------|
D |---------2------2---2----------|------0--------0---0-------------|
A |-------2---0----3---3----------|-0-------------2---2-------------|
E |---0---------------------------|---------------3---3-------------|

This is the riff Neil plays while singing the last verse:
"And I'm getting old".

C Am7 G

e |--0--0--x--0--0--0--x--0--0--0--3--|
B |--1--1--x--1--1--1--x--1--1--1--0--|

Helpless - The Last Waltz Version

Intro: C G F C G F

C----------G--------F
There is a town in north Ontario,

C-------------G---------------F
With dream comfort memory to spare,

C-----------G-----F
and in my mind I still need a place to go,

C--G--------------F
All my changes were there,

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.

C---------G---------F
Helpless, helpless, helpless

C-----G---------------F
Baby can you hear me now?

C---G-----------------F
Baby, sing with me some how.

C G F C G F

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.

(repeat and fade)

C---------G----------F
Helpless, helpless, helpless........
