Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
01 June 1967 uk (Parlophone)
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - by The Beatles
--------------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
There is another version at OLGA, but it's not very complete.
So I decided to tab it. There are lots of additional bits
for the solo lead guitar, but it would take too long to figure them out, so just mess around a G blues scale or something...

of the album, with a much quicker beat, I think the chords are the same, except at one point they shift gears...

With a little help from my friends
From: "Dag Rambraut,o92a" <dagr@edb.tih.no>
Verse 1
With A Little Help From My Friends John Lennon and Paul McCartney
C G Dm
What would you do if I sang out of tune would you G7 C
stand up and walk out on me?
G Dm
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song and I'll G7 C
try not to sing out of key. Oh..
Chorus
Bb F C
I get by with a little help from my friends. Mm, I get Bb F C
high with a little help from my friends. Mm, I'm gonna F C
try with a little help from my friends.
Verse 2
What do I do when my loveis away, does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day, are you sad because you're on your own? No..
(Chorus)
C Am7 D7 C Bb F
Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love. Could it Am D7 C Bb F
be anybody? I want somebody to love.
Verse 3
Would youbelive in a love at first sight? Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know it's mine. Oh..
(Chorus)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
(Lennon/McCartney)
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
That cool riff that underlines John's section of the song is played on a keyboard instrument and is a little awkward to play on the guitar.
If you're stuck on playing it on a guitar, I recommend capoing on the
12th fret and playing the following (you could play this without the capo--the riff would just be an octave lower). The chords that go a long the riff are simple enough--just an A chord with a bass line moving beneath it.

Home (We gave her everything money could)
C#m F#m C#m
She is leaving home after living alone for so many years
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown, Picks up the letter that's lying there.
Standing alone at the top of the stairs,
She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone. Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?
She (we never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years

Within you without you
by George Harrison from SPLHCB
Within You Without You
Boy, this is a tricky one. The whole song revolves around a droning C note on the sitar, so there are no chord changes. If you happen to have a sitar, maybe if you fiddle around a little you can pick out the tune - it's in the
key of C, obviously. For the rest of us, pick up that guitar, start strumming open C, and sing what follows!
Verse:
We were talking
about the space between us all and the people
who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late when they pass away.....
We were talking
about the love we all could share when we find it
to try our best to hold it there with our love
with our love we could save the world if they only knew.....
"Chorus":
Try to realize it's all within your self, no one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small, and life flows within in you and without you
Verse:
We were talking
about the love that's gone so cold and the people
who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know.... They can't see..... Are you one of them
Coda:
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find, peace of mind, is waiting there
And the time will come
when you see we're all one,
and life flows within you and without you

A day in the life
From: infidel+@operations.cis.pitt.edu [ok... I'm still awake so...]
"A Day in the Life" by the Beatles. Yet another goodie banned by the BBC- because of the phrase "had a _smoke_". ho hum... Also too bad good ol' Michael Jackson sold it to Maxwell House... though it is a pretty cool ad (I guess)
(intro) G Bm Em Em7 (add D on B string) Em C..C Cmaj7 C+9 Cmaj7 (play with B) G Bm Em Em7 Em (you can add these notes on B string-
I read the news today oh boy I'll omit them from now on) C Em Am Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7
About a lucky man who made the grade
G Bm Em And though the news was rather sad
C F Em
Well I just had to laugh
C F Em Cmaj7... I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car / He didn't notice that the lights had changed A crowd of people stood and stared / They'd seen his face before
Em C....
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy / The English Army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away / But I just had to look
Having read the book....
C Bm G Am7 Em I'd love to turn.... you.... on....
(stays on Em for awhile then goes to E-major)
E A
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
E
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up, I noticed I was late
E A
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
E
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
C G D C E C G D C
Ahhh.... E D C D G
I heard the news today oh boy / Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small / They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall I'd love to turn... you... on...
