  10.                      Strawberry Fields Forever   -    The Beatles
  11.                  -----------------------------------------------------
  12.  
  13.  
  14.  
  15.  
  16.                                  From the album 'Magical Mystery Tour'
  17.  
  18.                                  Tabbed by Howard Wright
  19.  
  20.  
  21.  
  22. There are two other versions of this in the archives, but none are in the 
  23. right key. I thought a great song such as this deserved a proper tab in the 
  24. archives.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. Because the recording of this song involved a lot of playing around with 
  28. tape speeds, you need to tune down your guitar by a whole step.
  29.  
  30. So instead of tuning your bottom string to E, tune to D, then tune the other 
  31. strings to this by playing at the 5th/4th fret (you know the routine ...)
  32.  
  33. You should end up tuned to DGCFAD.
  34.  
  35. This means that the song is based on the C chord for the guitar, but it
  36. ends up being in the key of Bb.
  37.  
  38.  
  39.  
  40. I've tried to give a guitar part that does justice to all the things that are 
  41. going on in the song. For the first bit it's fairly straight forward since the 
  42. song has a guitar playing here - but later on I've tried to tab out a guitar 
  43. version of what the cellos and trumpets are doing.
  44.  
  45. Of course you can't play all of the song on just one guitar - but you can do 
  46. a pretty good job. I've written the chords above each line of tab if you just 
  47. want to strum along, and the words are underneath the line of tab.

  51. Intro :
  52. ---------
  53.  
  54. This is played on the mellotron, but you can do it fairly easily on guitar.
