The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun (2) guitar tab
Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles
George Harrison
From 'Abbey Road', Apple, 1969.
Tabbed(ish) by Zandar Ellis, January '06
Okay, first, some explanation. Many of you will realise this is mostly a
carbon copy of Preston Landers' tab. Well, that's because it is. I just
noticed a couple of inconsistences - and, of course, no two people ever
agree on the same tab, or so it would seem - and this seems to fill any
gaps left by Landers' tab, and it's the one I use.
I haven't put the second guitar part in, which just strums chords, for two
reasons. I'm self-taught, still in the process of teaching, so I;
a) don't know that many chords
and b) hate them. Damn fiddly things....
(the official excuse is this is a tab file, not a chord file.)
Lyrics should be fairly easy to integrate, as the lead guitar tabbed out
here is basically a mirror of the vocal.
With regards to time, you'll have to judge it yourself, I'm afraid. By rule
of thumb, leave a slight pause - and I mean slight - at the end of each
bar.
There's a capo on the seventh fret, so "-2-" means 9th fret, "-0-" means
open (7th fret).
Sounds best on a normal acoustic.
I think that's about it. I hope this tab doesn't ruin the song for anyone,
and if you've got any comments - complaints, suggestions and the like,
please hesitate to email them to me at "fatunclesatan@hotmail.com" (And no
comments about the email adress, either. I made it when I was twelve.)
Standard (EADGBE) tuning.
ANYWAY... On with the tab (Progression's at the end).

call it.

The last note of each repeat (in both sections) - a 'D' - can be played on
a SLIGHTLY - and I mean slightly - bent 5th on the A string. (I reckon it
sounds better, but it's entirely up to you, of course)
In the above and below repeat sections, you should play each a TOTAL of
three times, just to clear that up.
