Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds The Beatles
(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.
