This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Tabbed by:PJVillanueva

This song is a drone kept by the bass guitar while Lennon's rythm

and Harrison's picking change from A to G.

Lennon plays a syncopated rythm in low chords while Harrison,who

uses a capo on the seventh fret, plays a fingerpicking guitar riff

with an alternate A-E bass.

(D-A in the seventh fret capo position)

Be patient.It works and it sounds great.

Capo on 7th fret

Chords: A x02220 Remember that rythm guitar is played

G 320033 without a capo.
