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.     G Gmaj7 G7 Am G F C   D----------------------------------------------------------- A---3--3--3--3--3--3--1--0--------1--------0------------------
