Campaigner ("even Richard Nixon has got Soul")

My cover of a Neil Young song.
Love this song ever since I first heard it on Decade. Learned to play it by ear right away back then.
Such a great song and as the story goes Neil Young was on tour and resting in the hotel room on the bed with his son watching the news on TV. A news story came on about Pat Nixon's stroke and they filmed a distraught Richard Nixon leaving the hospital in tears. This must have moved Neil Young in a compassionate way because he wrote this song right away and then performed it on stage a few hours later.

All Nixon video used is in the Public Domain.
