At the beginning of such songs, an indication of flat tuning will appear.
Songs like ‘Lovely Rita Meter Maid’ and ‘I’m only Sleeping’ are tuned 1 semitone flat. This is done to make it easier for the reader to play after he/she detunes the guitar. The written chords will be the names that the normal standard tuning represent. In the case of Eb standard tuning (Tuning guitar flat by 1 semitone), the name of the written chords are not the actual chords. All songs in the book have been transcribed in the same key as used on the original recordings. Numbers like ‘Norwegian Wood’ used a capo on the original recordings, while in other circumstances (such as ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’) a capo has been used to make playing in difficult keys easier. You will need to have a capo for some of the songs in the book. In some cases certain chord shapes have been simplified but as mentioned earlier, all songs are in their original key. This book presents The Beatles’ songs in a format designed for a guitarist singing the songs on their own without other players on lead guitar or any other instrument.
