Song

The Inner Light

the Beatles

Here's the intro to "The Inner Light" by George

Harrison, a favorite of mine. These parts are used

often in the song, I'm not sure what he throws

in for variations. I have this song on the

Beatles' "Rarities", and I think it's on Volume

Two of "Past Masters", I'm not sure of it's original

release (year, album?). Sorry, I didn't work on

the chords or the little riffs during the verses.

E|-------------------------------
B|---------------1---1-----------
G|---------1-0-----3---3-1-0-1-0-
D|-1-1-1-3-----1-----------------
A|-------------------------------
E|-------------------------------
-------|
-------|

-1-1-1-|

^This can go on and on,

George has a bunch of

instruments going on here, if you're just

playing alone it sounds good to just

shorten this.

E|--------------------------------------------|
B|-----1--------------------------------------|
G|-3-3---1-1-3-0-0-1----0-1-1-3-0-0-1-----0---|
D|------------------3-3---------------3-3---1-|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

Play this whole thing above twice then play this part once

E|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-4-4-4-2-2-2-1-1-1-------------------------------------|
G|-------------------3-3-3-1-1-1-0-0-0-------------0-1-3-|
D|-------------------------------------3\1-3\1-3\1-------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|

For the outro you can keep repeating this little bit:

E|--------------------
B|--------------------
G|-0-1-3--------------
D|--------------------
A|--------------------
E|--------------------
