THE BEATLES - WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD (Lennon &
McCartney) From the WHITE ALBUM. Released
on 22nd November 1968
-------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
The intro features three percussion elements. Hand banging
on his Martin acoustic soundboard (only heard in the intro)
leads off, drums entering in a sparse, syncopated fashion
and echoed hand claps. Many people abhorred this song, not
knowing that it is a kind of Conceptual Art, as WILD HONEY
PIE and other songs from THE BEATLES double album. Lennon
always resented not to have been asked to take part in it.
McCartney conceded that it was an answer to his exclusion
from Revolution #9 (a much more ambitious Conceptual piece)
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road
