Tuning: G C E A
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ain’t She Sweet – The Beatles --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Ager/Yellen Recorded in 1962 Now on: "Anthology 1" (1995) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: soprano C I listened closely to what the Beatles did here. It's an eclectic arrangement, a little Jazz (bass), a little Beat (guitars). The bass goes up chromatically, suggesting something diminished as the second chord. The guitars however don't use a diminshed chord but play a regular C or C7 there. I don't think, though, that this dissonant C7/F should be reflected in a ukulele chord sheet, so my reading just features the plain C7. For completists, this is what actually happens in the Beatles' recording: Bass (tab) and chords E6 C7 B7 E6 C7 B7 (E) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|7---7---8---8---|9-------------6-|7---7---8---8---|9-----------9-8-|7 E|----------------|------7---7-9---|----------------|-------7--7-----| [Verse] basic pattern including the melody (can be used for a solo) E6 C7 B7 E6 C7 B7 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + A|4-------3-------|2---------2-4-2-|4---4---3---3---|2-----------4-2-| E|4-------3-------|2---------------|4---4---3---3---|2---------------| C|4-------4-------|3---------------|4---4---4---4---|3---------------| g|4-------3-------|2---------------|4---4---3---3---|2---------------| E G#7 C#7 F#9 B13 E 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + A|7---7---6---6---|4-----4---------|----------------|----------------| E|4-------4-------|4-----------5---|4-------4-------|0---------------| C|4-------6-------|5---------------|4-------3-------|4---------------| g|4-------5-------|4---------4-----|3-------2-------|1---------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS no barre intermediate transposed -4 (key of C) g-C-E-A g-C-E-A g-C-E-A E6 1-1-0-2 4-4-4-4 C6 0-0-0-0 C7 0-0-0-1 3-4-3-3 G#7 1-0-2-3 B7 4-3-2-0 2-3-2-2 G7 0-2-1-2 4-6-5-6 (B7 in turnaround) E 1-4-0-2 4-4-4-7 C 0-0-0-3 G#7 1-0-2-3 5-6-4-6 E7 1-2-0-2 C#7 1-1-1-2 4-5-4-4 A7 0-1-0-0 F#7 3-4-2-1 3-4-2-4 D7 2-0-2-0 A 2-1-0-0 6-4-5-4 F 2-0-1-0 Alternative for the turnaround (includes the lead vocal, not what the Beatles play, but sounds nice - kind of jazzy-flashy): not | F#7 B7 | E B7 | but | F#9 B13 | E B7 | 3-4-4-4 2-3-4-2 For easier chord shapes and if the original key is not important, transpose -4 to C (shapes, see above on the right). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] breaks 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 B7 B7 B7 [Verse 1]
