Junk tab by The Beatles
Guitar Tab
Junk (Lennon/McCartney) The Beatles Anthology III (1996) This is the tab of Paul's demo which is on the Anthology III. I listened To both versions (the real song on the first Paul's album and the demo) and I definitely prefer the demo (obviously George Martin is a better producer than Paul !). I didn't put the chords because it's a song for 1 acoustic guitar and no accompaniment. The notes in brackets are optional. There's only 2 parts in the song that you repeat several times with some little variations. You will have to play it with an open tuning because of a very deep D in the chorus that you can only play if you tune down your guitar. I sended 2 versions, you have to play the first with this tuning : D-G-C-G-B-e, and the second with this one : D-A-D-G-B-e. The first is much more simple (though the 2nd is easy too) and it sounds much better, that's why I think Paul must have played the song that way.
