LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
That cool riff that underlines John's section of the song is played on
a keyboard instrument and is a little awkward to play on the guitar.
If you're stuck on playing it on a guitar, I recommend capoing on the
12th fret and playing the following (you could play this without the
capo--the riff would just be an octave lower). The chords that go a
long the riff are simple enough--just an A chord with a bass line
moving beneath it.

Within You Without You
CBoy, this is a tricky one. The whole song revolves around a droning C note
on the sitar, so there are no chord changes. If you happen to have a sitar,
maybe if you fiddle around a little you can pick out the tune - it's in the
key of C, obviously. For the rest of us, pick up that guitar, start strumming
open C, and sing what follows!
Verse:
We were talking
about the space between us all
and the people
who hide themselves behind a wall
of illusion
Never glimpse the truth,
then it's far too late
when they pass away.....
We were talking
about the love we all could share
when we find it
to try our best to hold it there
with our love
with our love we could save the world
if they only knew.....
"Chorus":
Try to realize it's all within your self,
no one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
and life flows within in you and without you
Verse:
We were talking
about the love that's gone so cold
and the people
who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know....
They can't see.....
Are you one of them
Coda:
When you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find, peace of mind,
is waiting there
And the time will come
when you see we're all one,
and life flows within you and without you
==========================================================================
WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR
The song is in C#. Not a good key for guitar. So I suggest capoing the
first fret and playing in C. If you're a purist, just move all the chords
up a half step.
intro: C F G C G C
