All You Need Is Love : Chords

well, the other song i get the most requests for tablature on is my cover of the beatles song "all you need is love". so here it is :)


oh yeah, almost forgot, here's the video of my cover for your reference.





the chords i use are...

G - 3st fret E string, 2nd fret (or muted) A string, open D string, open G string, 3rd fret B string, third fret E string.

G/F# is used transitionally and it means a G chord with your finger on the second fret of the low E string, you know, like a walkdown from G to Eminor

Em - open E string, 2nd fret A string, 2nd fret D string, open D string, open G string, open B string, 3rd fret (or open) E string.

C - muted E string, 3rd fret A string, 2nd fret D string, open G string, 1st fret B string, open E string

C/B same as a C but with the 2nd fret on the A string instead of 3rd fret. use this one to walk down to Am

Am - muted E string, open A string, 2nd fret D string, 2nd fret G string, 1st fret B string, open E string.

Am/G - same as Am except with 3rd fret on the low E string instead of muted. optionally the G string can be left open.

D - muted E string, muted A string, open D string, 2nd fret G string, 3rd fret B string, 2nd fret E string.

D/C - same as D except with 3rd fret on the A string. optionally the high E string can be left open.

B7 - muted E string, 2nd fret A string, 1st fret D string, 2nd fret G string, open B string, 2nd fret E string.


INTRO

The timing on the intro is a little weird, with the signature repeatedly changing back and forth from 4/4 to 3/4. I'll put the beats above the chords to kind of give you an idea.

1____2____3___4_____1____2___________3
G________G/F#_______Em____(walk back up to the G : E F# G)

1__2__3__4___________________________1___2____3

(REPEAT INTRO HERE)


VERSE 3

G__________________G/F#____________Em
There's nothin you can know that isn't known

G__________________G/F#____________Em
nothin you can see that isn't shown

C___________________C/B____________Am
there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're

___Am/G

____D__D/C (then just these notes, B C D D E G)
it's easy


CHORUS

G_____Am_____D
All you need is love

G_____Am_____D

C_______D
Love is all you need.

(REPEAT THE CHORUS AT LEAST TWICE, THEN THE LAST TIME JUST HOLD THE G CHORD)

G
Love is all you need.

G
Love is all you need.

G
Love is all you need.





and that's the end! hope that helps folks, until next time!

Brothers on A hotel Bed : Chords

today's post is gonna be more of a howto sort of thing, i get a lot (a loooooooot) of comments on my youtube videos asking for tablature or chords to the songs that i cover. i decided that since so many people seem to be interested in how to play these songs i might as well put them up here in case other people are interested too! plus now i can direct people here instead of typing it out every time.

oh yeah, here's the video of my playing it so you can have some context :)




i play it in the key of e, and the chords are a kind of C#minor 2nd, B suspended, A2nd.

C#minor 2nd = 4th fret A string, 2nd fret D string, 4th fret G string, and the B and E strings open.

Bsus = 2nd fret A string, 4th fret D string, 4th fret G string, and the last two strings open

A2nd = open A string, 2nd fret D string, and 4th fret G string, with B and E left open.

on all these chords I don't play the low E string.

so the intro is 4 beats on the A2, 2 beats on the C#minor2, and 2 beats on the Bsus. i play that two or four times depending on how long it takes me to remember the words, haha.


A2_____________C#m2______Bsus___________A2
you may tire of me, as our december sun is setting
_________________________Bsus___A2
cuz i'm not who i used to be
A2__________________C#m2____________Bsus__________A2
no longer easy on the eyes, these wrinkles masterfully disguise
A2____________Bsus
the youthful boy below
A2_____________________C#m2_________Bsus___________A2
who turned your way and saw, something he was not looking for
_________________________Bsus__A2
both a beginning and an end
A2_________________C#m2_______Bsus________A2
but now he lives inside, someone he does not recognize
__________________________Bsus_____A2
when he catches his reflection on...accident.

A2 x 4
Bsus x 2
C#m2 x 2


A2 x 4
Bsus x 2
C#m2 x 2

A2___________________C#m2_________Bsus__________A2
on the back of a motor bike, arms outstretched trying to take flight
A2___________________Bsus_____A2
leaving everything behind
A2___________________C#m2__________Bsus_____________A2
but even at our swiftest speed, we couldn't break from the concrete
A2______________________Bsus
in the city where we still reside
A2_____________C#m2______Bsus___________A2
and i have learned, that even landlocked lovers yearn
A2____________________Bsus______A2
for the sea like navy men
A2_________________C#m2_______Bsus_________A2
'cuz now we say goodnight, from our own separate sides
A2_________________C#m2___Bsus___A2
like brothers on a hotel bed
A2_________________C#m2___Bsus___A2
like brothers on a hotel bed
A2_________________C#m2___Bsus___A2
like brothers on a hotel bed
A2_________________C#m2___Bsus
like brothers on a hotel bed
A2
you may tire of me, as our december sun is setting
A2
cuz i'm not who i used to be
