Here`s Taxman (probably a re-post). I don`t have Nowhere Man, but it was tabbed out in the recent Guitar mag with John Lennon on the cover. As for If I Needed Someone, I also don`t have this tab readily available, but a hint is to learn it in the key of D using the usual "baby" D chord (XX0232), then capo up to the seventh fret.

Should five percent appear too small Be thankful I don`t take it all `Cos I`m the taxman Yeah I`m the taxman

`Cos I`m the taxman Yeah I`m the taxman

Don`t ask me what I want it for (ah ah, Mr. Wilson) If you don`t want to pay some more (ah ah, Mr. Heath) `Cos I`m the taxman Yeah I`m the taxman
