The rest of the song builds off these ideas. Once you can play
the above, you'll be able to feel the small changes from verse

^ these are only done the 2nd verse I think.. (listen to the record..)
All this goes twice, and then we have:

This is the riff for the lead guitar.. If you play it by yourself you'd better
stick to E5E5 or perhaps an E7-chord for the two first measures..
This is also repeated twice.. And VOILA.. Get Back.. I'm not sure about the
end though, but then again I don't think the Beatles were two sure about that
either...

Get Back tab
Get back was originally released as a single in 1969 but another version of the song later appeared on the last album the Beatles released, Let it be. These The Beatles Let it be guitar tabs are for the album version. It soon became a worldwide success topping the charts all over the globe. The melody came to the band while jamming in January 1996 while Paul McCartney came with the words.
John Lennon thought that Paul’s lyrics “Get back to where you once belong” was to his wife Yoko Ono. Apart from the four Beatles Billy Preston is a guest on the tune playing electric piano. At the same tima as the recording The Beatles did the famous rooftop performance at the top of the Apple records building. This short open air concert was stopped by the police. Use these The Beatles Get back guitar tabs to learn this great song. Many cover versions of Get back has been released over the years including one by Rod Stewart and Tina Turner.
