The Story Behind the Tab:
John Lennon is the man. End of story.
Notes:
Perhaps the most obvious thing that you will notice about the song is that it is
in flat tuning.
If you're unfamiliar with it, simply tune your guitar down half of a step, from an E to
Eb, an A to an Ab,
and so on. This flat tuning gives the song a somewhat haunting sound to it. This,
with the fact that
it was recorded as a homemade demo on old equipment made it fairly difficult to notate.
many demos, this
demo lacks symmetry. There are bridges, choruses, and verses thrown in all over the
After all, Lennon
was experimenting. And if you know anything about Lennon, you know that he if fond of
making up
lyrics as he goes along, and forgetting entire verses. One thing that he does is omit,
change, if only
subtly, chords. If you'll notice, he only plays a G/F# in the first and last verse. Go
Also, the G6
and A6 in the second chorus are substituted with an A* and G*. These are meant to
simple barre
chords. Besides the issue of sound quality, it should be noted that there is a fade in
the beginning and a
fade out at the end. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, I hope I do it
