R = release first note to second. . . In both cases, pick only first note Magic E Chord for use in AYBCS. Note that this is a real open, twangy sounding E5 chord. . . sounds best on a Rickenbacker 325! Also sounds great in Day Tripper.

I sometimes substitute 9H10P9 e.g., 9p8 = 9 pull off to 8 * means strike base E string only before playing full E chord CHORDS: A 577655 B 224442 B/F# XX4442 C#/F XX3121 E 079900 e 022100 F#m 244222 G+ XX5443 G+ (picked) XX0443 G#m 466444 G#m (picked) 446444 I send this again because it was'nt in the right format, there was too much lyrics and it looked too much like the previous version, etc ... And Your Bird Can Sing (Lennon/McCartney) The Beatles Revolver (1966) This is a rewriting of the previous versions of the intro, the riff, the solo, the middle section and the outro of AYBCS, a song you can hear on Revolver, the best rock album of all time (that's what a jury of 400 celebrities said). As I found the 3 previous versions really hard to play, I have searched for a easier way to play this song, and I realised that it was much more simple with an open tuning (E-B-D-G-B-d) for the middle section as well as the solo. I am not sure of all notes but I know it's the most simple tab I could have written.
