Song: She's leaving home
Artist: The Beatles
Composers: Lennon & McCartney
Album: Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Tabbed by: DJ 3rd Aug 2014
My performance of the song on ukulele, I played it in D (no capo)
and had to be selective of which lyrics I sung.:
Soprano ukulele tuning: G-C-E-A
Time signature: 3/4 (Waltz time)
FINE TUNING: The original backing track was most likely sped up
slightly, raising the pitch sharply. To match it, use a chromatic
tuner and tune all strings up approx.+40 cents.
Alternatively, to avoid retuning, live performances are more likely
to be in true concert pitch if you want to play along.
