[B] Hey everyone, what's up?
It's Julie from Mahalo and today I am going to teach you one of my favorite Beatle song
of all time in my life.
This was requested by somebody named Purasonali.
I hope I got that right.
That's what was written on the computers.
Anyway, this one's for you.
Let's get started.
I'm going to start with the riff.
So, we need the [C#] 6th fret of the G string and then the 5th fret of the E.
[A] There you go.
Just like that.
And then on the G string, 6, [D] [E] 7, 9.
And then on the B string, 9th fret.
So [D#] all together and [F#m] [E] then it [C#m] repeats.
[F#m]
[E] Alright, then we are now into our A section or our verse, whatever you want to call it.
We need [A] these chords.
A major, which is open 2, 2, 2, [E] open.
E major, open 2, 2, 1, open, [G] open.
[F#m] F sharp minor, notice I'm not doing a full [B] bar here.
You can if you want to do that.
[F#] That is [C#] bar the 2nd fret all the way and then 4, 4 or just from the A string, 4, 4 and then
bar the last [F#m] 3 strings on the 2nd fret.
[A] And then A7, which is [E] open 2, open G, 2, open.
So like [A] this.
A, [E] E, [G] [F#m] F sharp [Em] minor, A7.
[E] And what I'm doing [A] is down, down, [E] down, down, up, [F#m] E, F sharp minor, [Em] A7.
[D] Then we go D major, open 2, 3, 2 and then D [Dm] minor, open 2, 3, 1.
[E] Like this.
[D] [Dm]
[A] Back to A for [Em] 2 measures.
[F] So all together with vocals, [F#] sounds like this.
There [A] are places [E] I [F#m] [Em] remember all [Dm] my life.
[A] Though some have changed.
A, [E] E, F [F#m] sharp [Em] minor, A7.
Then [D] to D, D minor [A] and then to A.
Now we're in our B section.
So our B section, we need these chords.
F sharp minor [Bm] and then B minor.
We are going to bar that 2nd fret.
So it's 2nd, 4, 4, 3 and 2.
And [G] then we go G major, which is 3, 2, open, open, 3, 3 [A] and then to A.
So like this.
[F#m] These places have [Bm] their moments.
B minor, then to G.
[G] With lovers and friends.
Then to [A] A.
I still can recall.
Then we go back to F [F#m] sharp minor.
Dead and so far.
Not B [B] minor though, B major.
So we're going to bar that 2nd fret, 2, 4, 4, 4, cue.
Then [D] we go D, D minor.
[A] I love them all.
A.
So let me go through that whole B [E] section one more time.
Starting on F sharp minor.
[F#m] Though these places have [Bm] their B minor.
G.
[G] With lovers and friends.
Then we go [A] A.
I still can recall.
Back to F sharp minor.
Some are [F#m] dead and some B [B] major are living.
That's important.
Then D.
[D] In my [Dm] D minor.
I [A] love them all.
[E] Then we go back to our [B] riff.
Back to our A section verse.
Back to our chorus.
And then what to play for the little harpsichord solo.
You're just going to go [A] ahead and play the verse again, which again is A, [E] [G] E, [F#m] F
[Em] sharp minor, A7, [D] D, D minor, [A] A, A, A, [E] E [Em] major, [F#m] F sharp minor, [Em] and [A] then A7, [D] D, D
minor, [A] A, A.
[Em] And then you're going to repeat [F#] the chorus again and then repeat the riff.
Now to end this, after you do that riff, this is what you're going to [F#m] do.
[D] [E]
You're going to strum this chord.
So this is like an E major chord without the bar.
So it's all on the ninth fret here, starting on the D, G, and B string.
And then take your pinky off and put your first finger on the [B] seventh fret of the
B and then back [G#m] on.
And then to make it [C] easier on all of us, [A] let's go ahead and strum the A major
bar chord, which you bar the fifth fret, [E] 5, 7, 7, 6, 5, 5.
So all together that ending.
