This isn't too hard to play.....there aren't that many chords in it, there
are a couple of barre chords but I'll deal with those later.....

So - off we go - play the intro, then straight into a D chord....

(D)You tell me that you've got everything you want,
And your bird can sing,
But you don't get (Em)me,
(G)You don't get......(D)me

(Play fill 1 here)

(D)You say you've seen seven wonders,
And your bird is green,
But you don't see (Em)me,
(G) You don't see.....(D)me......

(Play fill 1 again)

(F#m)When your prized po(F#maj7)sessions,
(F#m7)Start to let you (B7)down,
(D)You may be a(Em)woken, I'll be (G)round,
I'll be (A7)round,

(Repeat Intro/Solo here.....)

(F#m)When your bird is (F#maj7)broken,
(F#m7)Will it bring you (B7)down,
(D)You may be a(Em)woken, I'll be (G)round,
I'll be (A7)round,

(D)You tell me that you've heard every sound there is,
And your bird can sing,
But you won't hear (Em)me,
(G)You won't hear (D)me........

The only tricky bit is the bridge....the last chord in the verse is
D, so If you play it like this.....

E A D G B E
2 0 0 2 3 2

with a mini-barre across the top 3 strings....

It's easy enough to change to F#m...then F#m7 and F#m7 like this,
as long as you extend the mini barre to the D string during the
F#m chord.......

E A D G B E
F#m 2 4 4 2 2 2
F#maj7 2 4 3 2 2 2
F#m7 2 4 2 2 2 2

This song was, for me anyway, the absolute stand-out track on the
Revolver album - the first time I heard it, it was like "wow, is that
actually a guitar?" - it opened my ears to all the possibilities...

I still love it to this day, and it's still probably my absolute
all-time favourite Beatles track - if I've got the blues, I'll play it
to cheer myself up....if I'm feeling good, I'll play it to feel even
better....ah hell, I don't need an excuse to play it, I'll just play
it anyway......
