Chords with lyrics
Title: Girl Artist: The Beatles Album: Rubber Soul written by: Lennon/McCartney Transcriber: Jason Goss ([email protected]) I looked around for any tabs to this song and found that they were all missing an important point. The acoustic in this song sounds tense, or strained, and it's because of the unorthodox use of a capo. Try listening to just the BB and E MajorE string and you'll see what I mean. So this is my attempted transcription of "Girl". I'm all but certain that these chords are right so, if you have a capo on hand, enjoy.
You'll need to capo the 8th fret to play this song correctly. Chords, or chord shapes*** (assuming the 8th fret is the open position): E minorEm 022000 B minorBm x24432 E minor 7Em7 020030 A minorAm x02210 Am/E 002210 G+G 320033 B7B7 x21202 Bm/F# 224432 D7/F#D7/F# 200212 E MajorE 022100 E7E7 022130 C majorC x32010 VERSE 1: E minorEm B minorBm E minorEm E minor 7Em7 Is there anybody goin' to listen to my story A minorAm Am/E G+G B7B7 all about a girl who came to stay? E minorEm B minorBm E minorEm E minor 7Em7 She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry; A minorAm E minorEm still, you don't regret a single day. CHORUS: G+G Bm/F# Am/E D7/F#D7/F# G+G Bm/F# Am/E D7/F#D7/F# Ah, gi-----rl, girl, gi---rl.
VERSE 2: When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her She will turn to me and start to cry; And she promises the earth to me and I believe her. After all this time I don't know why. CHORUS: Ah, girl, girl, girl. BRIDGE: A minorAm E MajorE She's the kind of girl who puts you down A minorAm E MajorE E7E7 E MajorE when friends are there, you feel a fool. A minorAm When you say she's looking good E MajorE she acts as if it's unterstood. A minorAm C majorC She's cool, cool, cool, cool. CHORUS: Girl, girl, girl. VERSE 3: (This verse has a countermelody which I believe is played on an acoustic. Don't worry about taking the capo off.) Was she told when she was young that fame would lead to pleasure? e |------------------------------------------------------------------------ BB |------------------------------------------------------------------------ G+G |---------------------------10--------------------12--------13-----12---- D MajorD |---------13--------10-----------------12--------------13---------------- A augmentedA |------------------------------------------------------------------------ E MajorE |------------------------------------------------------------------------ Did she understand it when they said e |------------------------------------------------------------------------ BB |------------------------------------------------------------------------ G+G |-10------13---12-------10---------------10------------------------------ D MajorD |---------------------------------13------------13-----12---------------- A augmentedA |------------------------------------------------------------------------ E MajorE |------------------------------------------------------------------------ that a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure? e |------------------------------------------------------------------------ BB |------------------------------------------------------------------------ G+G |---------------------------10---------------12-----13--------12--------- D MajorD |--------13-------10----------------12-----------13---------------------- A augmentedA |------------------------------------------------------------------------ E MajorE |------------------------------------------------------------------------ Will she still believe it when he's dead? e |------------------------------------------------------------------------ BB |------------------------------------------------------------------------ G+G |-10-------13------12-------10---------------10-------------------------- D MajorD |-------------------------------------13------------13-----12------------ A augmentedA |------------------------------------------------------------------------ E MajorE |------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHORUS: Ah, girl, girl, girl. ***For those who care to know, here are the chords' real names: E minorEm = C minorCm B minorBm = G minorGm E minor 7Em7 = Cm7Cm7 A minorAm = F minorFm Am/E = Fm/C G+G = Eb MajorEb B7B7 = G7G7 Bm/F# = Gm/D D7/F#D7/F# = Bb7/F# E MajorE = C majorC E7E7 = C7C7 C majorC = AbAb
