1967-1970 Disc 1

These are tabs from the Capitol Records 1967-1970 (Blue) album. I have collected them

previously written tabs by other members. THIS IS NOT MY WORK. if the tab is innacurate

their fault not mine. most of these tabs were tabbed by PJVillanueva so most of the credit should go to him.

Strawberry Fields Forever

There are two other versions of this in the archives, but none are in the

right key. I thought a great song such as this deserved a proper tab in the

archives.

Because the recording of this song involved a lot of playing around with

tape speeds, you need to tune down your guitar by a whole step.

So instead of tuning your bottom string to E, tune to D, then tune the other

strings to this by playing at the 5th/4th fret (you know the routine ...)

You should end up tuned to DGCFAD.

This means that the song is based on the C chord for the guitar, but it

ends up being in the key of Bb.

I've tried to give a guitar part that does justice to all the things that are

going on in the song. For the first bit it's fairly straight forward since the

song has a guitar playing here - but later on I've tried to tab out a guitar

version of what the cellos and trumpets are doing.

Of course you can't play all of the song on just one guitar - but you can do

a pretty good job. I've written the chords above each line of tab if you just

want to strum along, and the words are underneath the line of tab.

Intro :

This is played on the mellotron, but you can do it fairly easily on guitar.

Penny Lane

Tabbed by:PJVillanueva

1

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

Of every head he's had the pleasure to know.

And all the people that come and go

Stop and say hello.

2

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,

The little children laugh at him behind his back.

And the banker never wears a mack

In the pouring rain, very strange.

Middle Eight

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

There beneath the blue suburban skies

I sit, and meanwhile back

3

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass

And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.

He likes to keep his fire engine clean,

It's a clean machine.

Solo A A/Ab F#m7 A/E D6 E7sus4 E7

Middle Eight

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

A four of fish and finger pies

In summer, meanwhile back

4

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout

The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

And tho' she feels as if she's in a play

She is anyway.

5

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,

We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.

And then the fireman rushes in

>From the pouring rain, very strange.

Middle Eight

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

There beneath the blue suburban skies

I sit, and meanwhile back.

Coda

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

There beneath the blue suburban skies,

Penny Lane.

With a Little Help From My Friends

What would you think if I sang out of tune,

Would you stand up and walk out on me.

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,

And I'll try not to sing out of key.

I get by with a little help from my friends,

I get high with a little help from my friends,

Going to try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away.

(Does it worry you to be alone)

How do I feel by the end of the day

(Are you sad because you're on your own)

No I get by with a little help from my friends,

Do you need anybody,

I need somebody to love.

Could it be anybody

I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight,

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.

What do you see when you turn out the light,

I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,

Do you need anybody,

I just need somebody to love,

Could it be anybody,

I want somebody to love.

I get by with a little help from my friends,

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,

With a little help from my friends.
