[Eb] [Bb] Tackling the [Eb] song Lovely Rita are [Db] Travis.
[Eb] Singer Fran Healey thinks he's found the perfect [Fm] place to record the [Eb] guitars.
[Bb] We were practicing the guitars, the acoustic guitars, in the stairwell of the studio,
because it was quite naturally echoey, [Ab] and then I thought, that's quite cool.
So I said [Eb] to Jesh, can we maybe do it, and he [Gm] came out and listened to us,
and he was [Eb] like, yeah.
I'll give it a try.
Why not?
Yeah.
[F] That's a nice [Bb] sound.
[Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] We put the [Ab] acoustics there because it's a fun place to [Bb] play it.
So if it works, you know, it'll be good.
[Eb] We used to do things like that in the [Bb] past,
always looking for some other little spot to [Eb] record stuff.
It's [F] hard with the Beatles because of their privacy.
We couldn't actually go and venture outside of the studio much.
Maybe at night we might.
[Bb] Just a comfortable, [Gm] nice environment to play an [F] acoustic guitar, you know.
[Db] It's going to be a little different.
[Gm] [Bb] With half [Ab] the band in the studio [Ab] and the other half under the stairs,
Travis get ready to record a take.
[Abm] One, two, three, [Bb] four.
[Eb]
Lovely Rita, [Ab] Rita May
[Eb] Lovely Rita, [Bb] Rita May
[Eb] Lovely Rita, [Db] Rita May
[Eb] Nothing can come [Bb] between [Cm] us
When it gets
[Gb] Flat, flat, flat.
[Db] Ah-ah-ah
[N] More difficult than it looks, the Coleman paper.
Well, it's quite tricky.
Look at it.
You've got to get your technique right,
you've got to adjust the right distance between the paper and the comb.
[Eb] On Lovely Rita, the Beatles recorded [F] layers of ridiculous ad [Eb]-libs,
which Fran is [Db] eager to redo.
An [Eb] authentic 60s [Bb]-style comb.
[Cm] [Ab] Three of them, eh?
[Eb] Three at the same time?
John and Paul definitely, and I don't know whether George did as well,
because I know what happened, we kept doing it,
and the vibration of the all the time made their minds go all fuzzy and dizzy.
And by the end of the night, it was like John would have said to Paul,
you know, it's like going on a trip this, Paul, you know.
One more, it's nearly there.
