Corrections to existing TABS:

1)  Richard Cook's TAB (in D, capo on 2nd fret) lists the chords of the

    bridge as:

    Dm         G

    She ... anywhere

    Dm         G     A

    I   ...    chair.

    which contains 2 errors. To be played in D the chords should be:

    Dm         G

    She ... anywhere

    Dm         Em7  A7

    I   ...    chair.

2)  Robert Hall's TAB (in E) lists the chords of the bridge as:

    Am         D

    She ... anywhere

    Am         D     F#

    I   ...    chair ---> verse (E riff above)

    which are in the wrong key.  To be played in E the chords should be:

    Em         A

    She ... anywhere

    Em         Fm7   B7

    I   ...    chair.

   I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.



I sat on a rug, biding my time

    drinking her wine.

We talked until two, and then she said

    it's time for bed.

[repeat 1st measure]

She told me she worked in the morning

    and started to laugh.

I told her I didn't

    and crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And, when I awoke, I was alone

    this bird had flown.

So, I lit a fire, isn't it good

    Norwegian wood.

[repeat 1st measure]

notes:

1.  Spacing doesn't indicate timing - I just lined the tab up with the lyrics.

2.  Chords are tabbed for their first beat only.  The D chord is strummed down,

    up, down.  Note the hammer-on at the end of each measure.

3.  Holding the D chord, use your pinky for 3rd fret notes and index finger

    for 1st fret notes, middle finger for 3rd fret on the A string.

4.  Have an accompanist play along without a capo:

     E     D     E     D    [bridge]  Em    A    Em     A   B



Alternate TAB: Norwegian Wood

This song is in E; you can play it in D with a capo, but

I don't have one, so I figured out this version.  It lets

you play the rhythm and lead guitar parts at the same time:

-> (C)  B   (C) G  (C)  D   G   G  (C)  D   G    A  (C)

Accent the string listed below the word to bring out

the melody. (c) means accent the whole chord.  Use your

smallest finger to hit the notes during "I once had a girl."

You Won't See Me
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
from the Beatles album _Rubber Soul_

       A        E        D         A
When I call you up, your line's engaged.
       A     E        D        A
I have had enough, so act your age!
        A7       D         Dm             A
We have lost the time that was so hard to find,
           A       E       E         A        A   Asus2 Am  A
And I will lose my mind if you won't see me. (You won't see me)
E         A        A   Asus2 Am  A
You won't see me. (You won't see me)

I don't know why you should want to hide
But I can't get through, my hands are tied.
I won't want to stay, I don't have much to say,
but I get turned away, and you won't see me. (You won't see me)
You won't see me. (You won't see me)

To play this as it sounds on the record, put a capo on
the second fret.

(So when I write D I mean play a D shape at the capo i.e
two frets higher than it normally is)

He's a real nowhere man

Sitting in his nowhere land

Em             Gm                D

Verse 2:

Nowhere man don't worry

There is a solo by another guitar, but it is a different one, can't think of the name of
it off hand.  This little bit of tab is also played by a basic accoustic in the backround.

IN MY LIFE
(Lennon/McCartney)
Rubber Soul (1965)

 This song is in A, but much simpler to play in G.  So capo
at the second fret. There are some cool things in this song
that I can't really include in a guitar tab, like the incredible
bass line and the keyboard solo.  I only wish I could play that solo.
George Martin played that right? Note the synchopated G7 at the end
of the first and third line of the verses.  I think that is so cool.
Purists can transcribe this back into A.

If I Needed Someone


George Harrison's finest unsung moment. A very underrated song that is a
brilliant example of pop perfection, circa 1965. They don't make 'em like this
any more. To play it, use a capo at the 7th fret. Of course, to make it sound
right, you'll need a 12-string (preferably Rickenbacker, of course), but I've
found that I can achieve a passably similar effect by either turning on the
chorus just enough that I hear two separate sounds or setting my delay pedal
long enough to hear two separate sounds. Either way, ya gotta jangle, or it
won't sound right.

I think John Lennon may be playing first position chords throughout, so I'll
write the chord names above the TAB and I'll draw the shapes at the end. I
can't tell exactly what the rhythm is for this part, but as long as it's not
overdone, it should be fine.

(Even though the capo is at the 7th fret, I'm writing this as if it were the
nut - i. e. `0' in the tab will correspond to the 7th fret. Just add 7 to
everything if it gets too confusing.)

John Lennon's chords: (all played 1st position - WITHOUT A CAPO)
  A7      G/A      Em      F#7      Bm     E      A
E-0--------3--------0-------0-------2------0------0------|
B-2--------0--------0-------2-------3------0------2------|
G-0--------0--------0-------3-------4------1------2------|
D-2--------0--------2-------4-------4------2------2------|
A-0--------0--------2----------------------2------0------|
E-------------------0----------------------0-------------|

Rhythmically, this should be okay. I transcribed this mostly on my own (I got
chord changes and forms and lyrics from a book, but all of the embellishments
such as capo placement and music beyond standard chording was my own doing), so
there are going to be some things that aren't quite right. For instance,
obviously, if both guitars stand still during the G/A chord, things are going
to be pretty boring, so there is a rhythm pattern beyond what I have, I just
haven't pegged it down precisely. Slight arpeggiations seem to work fine here.

I recently listened to this album again and was blown away by this song. A
true masterpiece, especially the solo. I wish that I could transcribe the
incredible vocal harmonies; alas, there's no way. Still, this should be
plenty. Happy playing!

The song opens with an acoustic guitar playing a D. Then two electric guitars
enter:

An acoustic guitar plays straight chords and accompanies the vocals:

[verse 1]
		           D
		Well I'd rather see you dead little girl
		        Bm
		Than to be with another man
	              D
		You better keep your head little girl
	                Bm
		Or you won't know where I am

[chorus]	        	                     E
		You better run for your life if you can little girl
		 Bm                    E
		Hide your head in the sand little girl
		 Bm                     G
		Catch you with another man
		 F#        Bm               D
		That's the end little girl.

[verse2]
		          D
		Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
		           Bm
		And I was born with a jealous mind
		    D
		And I can spend my whole life
		                Bm
		Tryin' just to make you tow the line.

[chorus]
		                                     E
		You better run for your life if you can little girl
