Transcribed by Alan Shipston from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
This differs from other tabs I have seen in that it shows the correct chords
and reflects the key of the record.
This song has no guitar in the recording. The instruments are concert harp
and string quartet, therefore the voicings used are to simulate those parts
played.
