Because
Lennon/McCartney
Album: Abbey Road
Transcribed by Mike Chapman (chapman@power.psl.ee.vt.edu)
This version is pretty fun to play along with the vocal version
on Anthology 3! Try using your pinky for the notes marked with
a *. This version also sounds great on just an acoustic. I like
to use a stiff pick to get a sharper attack sound, but finger
picking is okay too. The song is almost entirely barre chords.
Chords:
C#m G#7sus? G# A A7 D F#

"Ahhh, Ahh.. " "Because the (etc.)..."
Lyrics (not necessarily in order):
Because the world is round, it turns me on
Because the world is round, ahhh
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind
Because the wind is high, ahhh
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue, ahhh
Part with "Love is old, love is new...":
