--------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Sweet Lord – George Harrison --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard George Harrison My Sweet Lord (1971) (George Harrison) From: "Concert for Bangla Desh" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7xipqc0AJI Studio version on "All Things Must Pass" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 2nd fret play: D (later key change to E) key: E (later key change to F#) Overall not too difficult, but one part in the verse is actually very hard to pinpoint: the bar with the diminished chord, D#dim7 at the beginning and Ddim7 after the key change. I sometimes have the impression that there are two chords there (especially in the studio version). It must be a very subtle change, though. Maybe it is | D#dim7 B7/D# | which would involve only one finger: D#dim7 x-x-1-2-1-2 B7/D# x-x-1-2-0-2 For the second part after the key change it would be | Fdim7 C#7/E# | Fdim7 x-x-3-4-3-4 C#7/E# x-x-3-4-2-4 The part works well, however, using just the diminished chord, which is what I opted for below. Suggestions are highly welcome! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS E-A-D-G-B-e D#dim7 x-x-1-2-1-2 Ddim7 x-x-0-1-0-1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO | Em | A | Em | A | | Em | A | Em | A | (slide) | D | Bm | D | Bm | | D | D#dim7 | Em | A | CHORUS
