John Lennon's chords: (all played 1st position - WITHOUT A CAPO)

G/A

F#7

E-0--------3--------0-------0-------2------0------0------
B-2--------0--------0-------2-------3------0------2------
G-0--------0--------0-------3-------4------1------2------
D-2--------0--------2-------4-------4------2------2------
A-0--------0--------2----------------------2------0------
E-------------------0----------------------0-------------

Rhythmically, this should be okay. I transcribed this mostly on my own (I got

chord changes and forms and lyrics from a book, but all of the embellishments

such as capo placement and music beyond standard chording was my own doing), so

there are going to be some things that aren't quite right. For instance,

obviously, if both guitars stand still during the G/A chord, things are going

to be pretty boring, so there is a rhythm pattern beyond what I have, I just

haven't pegged it down precisely. Slight arpeggiations seem to work fine here.

I recently listened to this album again and was blown away by this song. A

true masterpiece, especially the solo. I wish that I could transcribe the

incredible vocal harmonies; alas, there's no way. Still, this should be

plenty. Happy playing!
