Subject: TAB: I Feel Fine (Lennon/McCartney)
Disclaimer: The "I Feel Fine" riff is very difficult to make sound exactly authentic. Although I've tabbed out the basics here, there are subtleties which I haven't or may not have reflected, such as how notes ring, the exact sloppiness with which the riff should be played, etc.
Marc
I Feel Fine
(Lennon/McCartney)
The song begins with a single plucked "A" note, sounds like a bass
guitar to me, which builds in feedback until the string is vibrating
hard enough to cause a buzz.

I'm pretty sure the song is in G - but if I'm wrong then adjust the
tab accordingly moving up or down a fret or two

This is obviously just the same riff moved down to different positions.
This is the main riff of the song.
In fact most of the song is just this riff played at the three different
positions (G,C,D)
The only different bit is :
G Bm C D7
I'm so glad that she's my little girl
G Bm C D7
She's so glad she's telling all the world
The solo is over the G/C/D riff.
Enjoy!
