Guitar Details During Verses:

Guitar 1 plays a standard rock & roll shuffle:



       B              

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----9----9---9h11--9--9-----9h11--9--9--9h11--9--9--9h11--9--9--

-|-----7----7---7-----7--7-----7-----7--7--7-----7--7--7-----7--7--

   You say you want   a  rev   o     lu    ti  on      well     you



       E                          

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----9----9---9h11--9--9-----9h11--9--9--9h11--9--9--9h11--9--9--

-|-----7----7---7-----7--7-----7-----7--7--7-----7--7--7-----7--7--

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------

      know                                 we  all want to change the...



.. and so on, while Guitar 2 plays something along these lines:

       B              

-|-------------------------------------------------------

-|-------------4----4------4----4---4----4---4----4------

-|-------------4----4------4----4---4----4---4----4------

-|-------------4h6--4------4h6--4---4h6--4---4h6--4------

-|-------------------------------------------------------

-|-------------------------------------------------------

   You say you want a rev o lu     tion      well you



       E              

-|-------------------------------------------------------

-|-----9-----9---9-----9---9-----9-------9-----9---------

-|-----9-----9---9-----9---9-----9-------9-----9---------

-|-----9h11--9---9h11--9---9h11--9-------9h11--9---------

-|-------------------------------------------------------

-|-------------------------------------------------------

   know                  we all want to change the...





Guitar 2 plays this figure during the "chorus":



                 B             E

-|-------------------------------------------------------11--------------

-|-------------------4----4---------------------------9--12--12-----12---

-|-------------------4----4------------------9--9h11---------11h13--11---

-|-------------------4h6--4---------9--9h11------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  ... it's gonna be         alright



.. repeated a few times, and then the following turnaround:



    F#7

-|-----------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------

-|-----------------------------------------------------------

-|-------------2----------4----------2-----------------------

-|--------2h4--------2h4--------2h4-------------2------------

-|--2--2----------2----------2----------2--2h4---------------





Now, over the A B G# chords in the last verse, the lead guitar

plays a screaming figure based on this:



-|-----------14----

-|--14b(16)--------

-|-----------------

-|-----------------

-|-----------------

-|-----------------



And over the B & E chords the final time around, the lead guitar

is rapidly picking in rhythm with the words:



-|--9--------------

-|--12b(14)--------

-|-----------------

-|-----------------

-|-----------------

-|-----------------



.. up until the climactic end.



-|-------------10--9---

-|--b(10)9--7--10--9---

-|-------------11--10--

-|-------------12--11--

-|-------------12--11--

-|-------------10--9---



Tab Special Notations:

----0----  play the open string ('fret zero')

----5----  play fret five

----5~---  play fret five with vibrato

---5/7---  play fret five, slide up to fret seven

---7\5---  play fret seven, slide down to fret five

--8b(9)--  play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach

             the pitch of fret nine

--b(9)8--  play fret eight already bent to the pitch of fret nine,

             unbending until it reaches the normal pitch of fret eight

----h7---  hammer-on to fret seven

----p5---  pull-off to fret five

---/7----  slide up to fret 7 (the starting fret of the slide is

             undefined, judge by ear)

---15\---  play fret 15, slide down (the ending fret of the slide is

             undefined, judge by ear)

---0h3---  play the open string and immediately hammer-on to fret

             three

---7p5---  play fret seven and immediately pull-off to fret five



well, no-one seems to have done this, so I'll give it a shot... it's pretty

hard to describe exactly what's going on with the rhythm here... and it's also

hard to play along with (if I remember correctly, the distorted (single) 

version is tuned to somewhere between 2 and 3 half-steps up (yeah, it's just

"randomly somewhere in between" - try it!), and I think the acoustic 

version on the White Album is maybe 1 or 2 half-steps up... at any rate,

I'll tab it in A because it's easiest (only possible ?) to play that way.



(also, I really never figured out the lead part... if someone would

care to chip in [or maybe I'll get around to it someday])



Intro is something like



 (keep sliding up to this A chord for awhile)

E------ ....  ------

B--\9-- ....  --12^-

G--\10= ....  ------



my best approximation of how the rhythm goes is something like this... you'll

have to play around hitting those notes on the 4th fret and then letting the

whole chord ring out:

 A                       (ring)        D            A     (ring)

-----------     -------------------------------     -------------------

-----------     ---------2-----------2-3-3-3---     ---------2-------2-

----------- ... ---------2-----------2-2-2-2h4- ... ---------2-------2- ...

-2-2-2h4-2-     -2-2-2h4-2-----2-2h4---0-0-0---     -2-2-2h4-2-2-2h4---

-0-0-0---0-     -0-0-0---------0-0-------------     -0-0-0-----0-0-----

-----------     -------------------------------     -------------------



anyways, it eventually makes it to E with the same kind of pattern... most 

of the funny business is stuff with the A where you do the 2(hammer)4 on

other strings [a few right in a row], and a 0h4 on the open string, usually

ending with a strum of the A chord...  so...

    A                                   D

You say you want a Revolution, well you know

                          A

We all want to change the world

                                          D

You tell me that it's evolution, well you know

                          E(7?)

We all want to change the world



Bm                           E

  but when you talk about destruction

Bm                            G     A  F#   E

  don't you know that you can count me out





(much more funny business with the notes on the 4th fret in this part

                            A     D         A...

  don't you know it's gonna be... alright...



and...



D---------0---------2-

A-----0h2-----2-2h4---  (x2)...

E-0-0-----------------



You say you got a real solution, well you know

We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution, well you know

We're all doing what we can...



But if you want money for minds that hate

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be...



You say you'll change the constitution, well you know

We all want to change your head

You tell me it's the institution, well you know

You better free your mind instead



But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao

You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow...

Don't you know it's gonna be...
