Chords for Paul McCartney shows the Mellotron

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This here, I think most of you can probably see it.
This is a Mellotron, _ a 60s instrument_
that was a forerunner of the synthesizer.
And the idea was that it's tape loops.
_ It's like a tape cassette.
You play one of the keys and it will play _ string sounds_
or a trumpet or flutes.
But _ since I've had it in my _ studio_
I've been trying to work out what they originally made them for.
And I think it might have been to sell them to places like cabarets.
And you'll see what I mean when I play.
These are all presets from the 60s.
This is the kind of thing they thought people wanted to do with a Mellotron. _
And I can't blame them.

I love it.
We found other uses for it, as have many musicians since.
And probably the most famous use, we as The Beatles put it to_
was on the front of one of our records, which went like this. _

_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ Let me take you down_
cos I'm _ [B] _ [Bb] going_
to [N] Strawberry Fields. _ _ _ _
