Written by: John Lennon
From: "Double Fantasy" (1980)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: soprano C
The | D D6 | changes in the verses are not really there, I think. They
are just a substitute if you're playing alone and the riff isn't there.
If there is a second player for the riff, a plain D as accompaniment is
fine throughout the verses.
The same is true for the chorus voicings suggested below. If there is a
bass or a guitar playing the upward movement, plain Em is fine in the
chorus throughout.
