From : jason_acoustics@hotmail.com (Jason Jazzman) This is the live Abbey Road version abstract and it is the best I can come up with. I typed it down following the order of the song as in the video, so you don't see the full version of the song. For better understanding of what has been written, listen back to the video and try to play along. The key I'm playing is in E major with normal/std. tuning. Steven plays it a semitone to a tone lower (Eb - D). Try it out anyway. Please have mercy on the names that I have given for the chords below. They are my own given names for my own guide. Enjoy playing the song and e-mail me for any queries if you want to. God Bless!!
