Only a Northern Song - Yellow Submarine (1969) - The Beatles (George Harrison)
Tabbed by: Elio Sarotto
My own way to play this great song by George Harrison. I don't know how much close to original it is but
I like how it sounds in acoustic. For any suggestion please feel free to contact me. Hope you enjoy.
NOTE: The whole psychedelic production that this song had just makes it hard to get it to sound like it
should with only an acoustic guitar. I suggest to play it in this order to get a good sound:
[Verse 1] [Verse 2] [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] [Chorus 2] [Verse 1] [Verse 3] [Instrumental 2] [Outro]
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Chords used:
(x02220)
(x24432)
(022100)
(xx0232)
(355433)
(x46664)
(244322)
If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
He just wrote it like that.
When you're listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are, they just play it like that
And it doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say
Or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song
(Played with the Verse rhythm)
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
Or how I fare
Or if my hair is brown
When it's only a Northern song.
If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct, there's nobody there.
(Played with the Chorus rhythm)
And I told you there's no one there
