R = release first note to second. . .
In both cases, pick only first note
Magic E Chord for use in AYBCS. Note that this is
a real open, twangy sounding E5 chord. . . sounds
best on a Rickenbacker 325! Also sounds great in
Day Tripper.

I believe both Marc Hertzberg and Richard Fowler
were on the right track insofar as the melody is
concerned and I referred to their versions to
help confirm what I felt I was hearing on the Re-
volver version of And Your Bird Can Sing.However,
I can't see George Harrison zipping up and down
the fretboard to play these beautiful riffs. I
believe his riffs were confined to the higher
areas around the "Magic E Chord" discussed by Marc
Hertzberg. Also, the middle is based on easily
played chords and with easy transitions. Also, I
felt that there are corrections which need to be
made to the words.Anyway, this is the arrangement
I have come up with for this beautifully written
song. I hope you enjoy it! Any comments are cer-
tainly welcome.

NOTES:
e.g., 9/109 = Play 9 slide up to 10 slide down to 9. I sometimes substitute 9H10P9
e.g., 9p8 = 9 pull off to 8
* means strike base E string only before playing full E chord
