The Beatles Complete ChordSongbook

Introduction

Welcome to one of the world’s greatest collections of popular music – the songs of The Beatles. Thirty years and more have elapsed since many of these remarkable songs were written and recorded, but their magic is undimmed. This book covers all the songs The Beatles wrote and recorded themselves, with the exception of instrumentals and Lennon-McCartney songs recorded only by other artists. To assist your enjoyment of playing these songs here are some tips:

Shapes

This book presents The Beatles’ songs in a format designed for a guitarist singing the songs unaccompanied, or with others. For this reason chord shapes have been simplified where possible. The Beatles made frequent use of barre chords up and down the neck, as on songs like ‘She’s A Woman’ or ‘I Feel Fine’. These can get tiring, especially on an acoustic guitar, so easier shapes have sometimes been substituted.

Capo

Some of these songs require a capo. Numbers like ‘Norwegian Wood’ used a capo on the original recordings, while in other instances (such as ‘our Mother Should Know’ and ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ a capo has been used to make playing in difficult keys easier.

Tuning

All the songs in this book have been transcribed in the same keys as used on the original recordings. However, The Beatles did occasionally detune their guitars when recording (for example ‘Lovely Rita Meter Maid’ used guitars with strings tuned down a semitone, and ‘Yesterday’ used guitars tuned a tone below concert pitch). Also note that if you are playing along with the record you may need to tune slightly sharp or flat on some songs. This slight deviation from concert pitch occurs for a number of reasons, including the fact that The Beatles experimented with ‘vari-speeding’ their tapes. Sometimes this resulted in a song whose key is pitched between two notes.

Muting and finger – picking

Players who wish to learn the correct finger-picking for songs such as ‘Blackbird’, ‘Julia’ and ‘Here Comes The Sun’ should seek out fully tabbed versions. The versions in this book are designed for strumming. George Harrison’s Indian-influenced songs present a special problem since they do not have chords in the conventional Western sense. An attempt has been made to give a flavour of the melody. Therefore in songs like ‘Within You Without You’ and ‘Love You To’ try playing the suggested chords with a thumb and two fingers to avoid having to mute the other strings.

Relative Tuning

The guitar can, be tuned with the aid of pitch pipes or dedicated electronic guitar tuners which are available through your local music dealer. If you do not have a tuning device, you can use relative tuning. Estimate the pitch of the 6th string as near as possible to E or at least a comfortable pitch (not too high, as you might break other strings in tuning up). Then, while checking the various positions on the diagram, place a finger from your left hand on the:

5th fret of the E or 6th string and tune the open A (or 5th string) to the note

5th fret of the A or 5th string and tune the open D (or 4th string) to the note

5th fret of the D or 4th string and tune the open G (or 3rd string) to the note

4th fret of the G or 3rd string and tune the open B (or 2nd string) to the note

5th fret of the B or 2nd string and tune the open E (or 1st string) to the note

Reading Chord Boxes

Chord boxes are diagrams of the guitar neck viewed head upwards, face on as illustrated. The top horizontal line is the nut, unless a higher fret number is indicated, the others are the frets.

The vertical lines are the strings, starting from E (or 6th) on the left to E (or 1st) on the right.

The black dots indicate where to place your fingers.

Strings marked with an O are played open, not fretted.

Strings marked with an X should not be played.
