"Oh! Darling" by LennonMcCartney

Chords used: E+ A E F#m D Bm7 E7 A7 F7 B7 Bb7

Verse

E+ A E Oh___ darling please believe me I'll never do you no harm Be-lieve me when I tell you I'll never do you no harm

Interlude

A-D-A-E

Oh___ darling if you leave me I'll never make it alone Believe me when I beg you Don't ever leave me alone

Interlude

A-D-A-A7

Chorus

When you told me you didn't need me anymore Well you know I nearly broke down and cried When you told me you didn't need me anymore E7 F7(5) E7 E+ Well you know I nearly fell down and died___

E+ A E Oh darling if you leave me I'll never make it alone Believe me when I tell you I'll never do you no harm

Interlude

A-D-A-A7 (Spoken) Belive me, darling

(repeat chorus)

E+ A E Oh darling please believe me I'll never let you down

(spoken) oh believe me darling Believe me when I tell you I'll never do you no harm

End:

A-D-A-Bb7-A7

Notes: For the interludes, listen to the CD and you will easily get the rhythm and hear how to play it. The end is exactly the same, except you add the Bb7-A7 "goodbye" bit. Just hit these chords once. Again, listen to the CD and you can't miss it.

If you are having troubles with the chords (as some new guitar players surely will) you can simplify them by using barre chords (since they are all standard form). It will not sound nearly as good, but that's just a suggestion. Don't let chords like Bm7 or F#m sound hard. They aren't.

This is a great song, and it's pretty easy and fun to play. Singing it is a whole new ballgame though <grin>. Please send any questions, comments, or suggestions (possibly corrections) to [email protected]
