<< Back to The Beatles Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6
One of my favourites with the Beatles from their fantastic album Revolver.
Couldn't fins a version with the Fmaj7, also added the solo and the bassline.
As always listen to the song so you know when to change chord and when to play the bass notes.
Peace brothers and sisters!
