A great Beatles classic! Yellow Submarine
This song was a great hit while camping with friends last week, and is very easy to play. For our beginners, I used alt chord voicing. For the strum pattern I used a simple down up down up which seem to fit very well. “DU DUDUDU DU DUDUDUâ€
On the other hand, you could listen to the song and come up with a strumming pattern that works best for you. Don't forget the yahas and voice overs.

In the town where I was born
Em* Am* Cmaj7* D*
Lived a man who sailed the sea
G* D* C* G*
And he told us of his life
Em* Am* Cmaj7* D*
In the land of submarines
G D C G
So we sailed up to the sun
Em Am Cmaj7 D
Till we found a sea of green
G D C G
And we lived beneath the waves
Em Am Cmaj7 D
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
G
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board

Nicely done Catalina,
We have a children's entertainer here in Cheltenham UK called Mr Music Man. He often played this and I remember when my kids were small they loved it when he changed the lyric to "We all live in a tub of margarine"
Happy memories eh.
Another for the Beatles catalogue on the ESD.

The guitar is all right John but you'll never make a living out of it! (John Lennon's Aunt Mimi)
10 years ago.......was my youngest daughter's 8th birthday party, a couple of weeks before I tried teaching her, her 2 sisters and her best friend, best friends brither and his mate this song....I played, they sang...
The most horrible experience of my life....none of them could sing for you-know-what, they were known forever after as the Fingerpost (that was the district of St.Helens where we lived) Feline Choral Society....
Every time my daughter now tries to sing along to a record, all I have to do is mention FFCS and she shuts up....so I suppose it did do some good!!!
:D :D :D

"we all dream of a team of Gary Breens" :wink:

"We all live on sausages and beans" also goes down well with the li'l uns.
