Song: Because
Artist: The Beatles
Composers: Lennon & McCartney
Album: Abbey Road
Tabbed by DJ 14th May 2015
To hear the song, copy and paste this link:
The slash chords on the Am and F chords are intended
to be played as single passing bass notes. The Am/C
is the only chord that needs an addition by adding
the C bass note using the little finger. All the
other chords can be played holding down the standard
chord and just emphasising the bass notes indicated.
NOTE that in using this tab, in the Bridge section
you won't get that lower root note for the D chord
without detuning your 6th string and also adapting
all the chords accordingly that also use that string,
but that is an option.
For the Bb(b5)to Bbdim lift off the little finger
whilst letting the first chord sustain, move your
middle finger to the 2nd string to add that Db note.
CAPO: 4th fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of C#m)
