Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- John & Yoko / Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Lennon/Ono Released as a non-album single in 1971 Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: soprano C I transposed this tab to G (a little easier to play, at least for me). To match the original recording put on one of those cute ukulele capos on the 2nd fret or transpose this tab up +2 to the key of A. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
