Revolution

Verse/Chorus Form:

You say you want a revolution well you know

We all want to change the world

You tell me that it`s evolution well you know

We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction

Don`t you know that you can count me out (in?)

Don`t you know it`s gonna be Alright

Guitar Details During Verses: Guitar 1 plays a standard rock & roll shuffle:

You say you want a rev o lu ti on well you

know we all want to change the...

.. and so on, while Guitar 2 plays something along these lines: You say you want a rev o lu tion well you

know we all want to change the...

Guitar 2 plays this figure during the "chorus":

... it`s gonna be alright

.. repeated a few times, and then the following turnaround:

Now, over the A B G# chords in the last verse, the lead guitar plays a screaming figure based on this:

And over the B & E chords the final time around, the lead guitar is rapidly picking in rhythm with the words:

.. up until the climactic end.

Me Again!

well, no-one seems to have done this, so I`ll give it a shot... it`s pretty hard to describe exactly what`s going on with the rhythm here... and it`s also hard to play along with (if I remember correctly, the distorted (single) version is tuned to somewhere between 2 and 3 half-steps up (yeah, it`s just "randomly somewhere in between" - try it!), and I think the acoustic version on the White Album is maybe 1 or 2 half-steps up... at any rate, I`ll tab it in A because it`s easiest (only possible ?) to play that way.

(also, I really never figured out the lead part... if someone would care to chip in [or maybe I`ll get around to it someday])

Intro is something like

my best approximation of how the rhythm goes is something like this... you`ll have to play around hitting those notes on the 4th fret and then letting the whole chord ring out:

anyways, it eventually makes it to E with the same kind of pattern... most of the funny business is stuff with the A where you do the 2(hammer)4 on other strings [a few right in a row], and a 0h4 on the open string, usually ending with a strum of the A chord... so... You say you want a Revolution, well you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it`s evolution, well you know We all want to change the world

but when you talk about destruction don`t you know that you can count me out

(much more funny business with the notes on the 4th fret in this part:) A D A... don`t you know it`s gonna be... alright...

and...

You say you got a real solution, well you know We`d all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution, well you know We`re all doing what we can...

But if you want money for minds that hate All I can tell you is brother you have to wait Don`t you know it`s gonna be...

You say you`ll change the constitution, well you know We all want to change your head You tell me it`s the institution, well you know You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao You ain`t gonna make it with anyone anyhow... Don`t you know it`s gonna be...
