"Because" — three-part vocal harmony over arpeggios from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata played backwards. Lennon's most beautiful vocal performance.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhh Be-
This is a great fingerpicking piece. Sorry I don't know all the words.
If someone would like to repost w/lyrics, that would be great. If anybody
Is desperate, I can get the lyrics from the sheet music.
Peace,

Tab - Now that's refreshing! I haven't seen any in a while since we lost our connection
To the net. All I can get is the 'rmmga' mail. Thanks for the tab, Paul. Here're a couple
More lines words off the top of my head...
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry....
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind....

“Because”
(Lennon/McCartney)
Arrangement: Neil Hogan
From: “A Beatles Collection”
CD/tab book available from
Joplin & Sweeney Music

(408) 395-7818 or 1-800-395-7818
Permission to post tab from Neil Hogan.
Following is from tab book.
“In Because, notes with stems down (bass
Notes) are not all played with the thumb.
Many notes in the lower voice are really
Harmony notes and played with right hand
Fingers.
In measure 27, the D#m7-5 chord is played
Using the 1st finger to fret notes on two
Different frets. The tip of the finger
Plays the D# on the 5th string while the
Base of the finger plays the A on the 1st
String.
Measure 37 has a bar on the 11th fret while
Also playing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings
At the 14th fret with the 4th finger.
In the last measure, the notes on the 1st
And 2nd strings are played with the 3rd and
4th fingers so they can be held down while
Playing the hammer-on below them. I know
It’s not easy, but who said guitar playing
Was supposed to be fun?”...Neil Hogan
(OBTW...try open 4th string as first note
In measure 9 vice as written...didn’t want
To fool with your tab Neil...but its sure
Easier my way!! :-) Jim

Знаете ли вы, что...
- Yoko was playing the Moonlight Sonata; Lennon asked her to play it backwards and built this song from the resulting chords. From Abbey Road (1969).
