Subject: 'Because' by 'The Beatles'

Because

Lennon/McCartney

Album: Abbey Road

Transcribed by Mike Chapman (chapman@power.psl.ee.vt.edu)

This version is pretty fun to play along with the vocal version

on Anthology 3! Try using your pinky for the notes marked with

a *. This version also sounds great on just an acoustic. I like

to use a stiff pick to get a sharper attack sound, but finger

picking is okay too. The song is almost entirely barre chords.

Chords:

C#m G#7sus? G# A A7 D F#

EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe EADGBe

Lyrics (not necessarily in order):

Because the world is round, it turns me on

Because the world is round, ahhh

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind

Because the wind is high, ahhh

Love is old, love is new

Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry

Because the sky is blue, ahhh

Part with "Love is old, love is new...":
