Here`s an arrangement of AYBCS for bands that have only two guitarists, and thus the lead guitar has to play both parts while the rhythm guy chunks away at the chords. Admittedly a tad weak in the middle section, but it sounds pretty good in my band.

I learned this by taping the chords ***very*** slow and playing until I knew it at that speed. Once I had it learned, it sped up pretty easily for me.

What a masterpiece this is. Aren`t those chords in the middle section amazing? When it gets back to the `E` chord (e.g., "You may be awoken"), it sure doesn`t feel like the home key, does it? But it all works beautifully. Cosmic bass playing by Mr. Mc Cartney, too. Enjoy.

And Your Bird Can Sing

B R B

Verse

You tell me that you`ve got every thing you want And your bird can sing But you don`t get me You don`t get me

Fill riff:

Verse

You say you`ve seen seven wonders And your bird is green But you can`t see me You can`t see me

Middle: When your prize po--sessions start to weigh you down G#m G+ B/F# C#/F

Look in my di----rection I`ll be `round I`ll be `round

Guitar Solo: B R B

B R

Middle: When your bird is broken Will it bring you down? You may be awoken I`ll be `round I`ll be round

Verse

Tell me that you`ve heard every sound there is And your bird can swing But you can`t hear me You can`t hear me

Repeat guitar solo: ... then ...

End:

(B = bend up first note to second... 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.
