Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles
-----------------------------------------------------
From the album 'Magical Mystery Tour'
Tabbed by Howard Wright
There are two other versions of this in the archives, but none are
in the
right key. I thought a great song such as this deserved a proper
tab in the
archives.
Because the recording of this song involved a lot of playing
around with
tape speeds, you need to tune down your guitar by a whole
step.
So instead of tuning your bottom string to E, tune to D, then tune
the other
strings to this by playing at the 5th/4th fret (you know the
routine ...)
You should end up tuned to DGCFAD.
This means that the song is based on the C chord for the guitar,
but it
ends up being in the key of Bb.
I've tried to give a guitar part that does justice to all the
things that are
going on in the song. For the first bit it's fairly straight
forward since the
song has a guitar playing here - but later on I've tried to tab
out a guitar
version of what the cellos and trumpets are doing.
Of course you can't play all of the song on just one guitar - but
you can do
a pretty good job. I've written the chords above each line of tab
if you just
want to strum along, and the words are underneath the line of
tab.
Intro :
---------
This is played on the mellotron, but you can do it fairly easily
on guitar.

This is the little downwards scale played on a harp-like
instrument.
Leave all strings to sustain as much as possible.
