Day Tripper
This is that note that seems to appear before every tab found on the
Internet telling you how good the song is ...like you didn't know!
I know that Riff 3 isn't exactly right and probably doesn't strum the
C# and B chords, but if you're playing on your own then it sounds ok!
Alternatively, you could carry the pattern of the first part of the
riff throughout.

Guitar Details During Verses:
Guitar 1 plays a standard rock & roll shuffle:

Guitar 2 plays this figure during the "chorus":
B E
-|-------------------------------------------------------11--------------|
-|-------------------4----4---------------------------9--12--12-----12---|
-|-------------------4----4------------------9--9h11---------11h13--11---|
-|-------------------4h6--4---------9--9h11------------------------------|
-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

.. repeated a few times, and then the following turnaround:
F#7

-|-----------------------------------------------------------|
-|-------------2----------4----------2-----------------------|
-|--------2h4--------2h4--------2h4-------------2------------|
-|--2--2----------2----------2----------2--2h4---------------|
Now, over the A B G# chords in the last verse, the lead guitar
plays a screaming figure based on this:
-|-----------14----|
-|--14b(16)--------|
-|-----------------|
-|-----------------|
-|-----------------|
-|-----------------|
And over the B & E chords the final time around, the lead guitar
is rapidly picking in rhythm with the words:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beatles/past_masters_vol_2_tab.html ]
-|--9--------------|
-|--12b(14)--------|
-|-----------------|
-|-----------------|
-|-----------------|
-|-----------------|
.. up until the climactic end.
-|-------------10--9---|
-|--b(10)9--7--10--9---|
-|-------------11--10--|
-|-------------12--11--|
-|-------------12--11--|
-|-------------10--9---|
(keep sliding up to this A chord for awhile)
E------ .... ------|
B--\9-- .... --12^-|
G--\10= .... ------|
my best approximation of how the rhythm goes is something like this... you'll
have to play around hitting those notes on the 4th fret and then letting the
whole chord ring out:
A (ring) D A (ring)

anyways, it eventually makes it to E with the same kind of pattern... most
of the funny business is stuff with the A where you do the 2(hammer)4 on
other strings [a few right in a row], and a 0h4 on the open string, usually
ending with a strum of the A chord... so...
A D
You say you want a Revolution, well you know
A
We all want to change the world
D
You tell me that it's evolution, well you know
E(7?)
We all want to change the world

You say you got a real solution, well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution, well you know
We're all doing what we can...
But if you want money for minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be...
You say you'll change the constitution, well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution, well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow...
Don't you know it's gonna be...

This is the riff for the lead guitar.. If you play it by yourself you'd better
stick to E5 or perhaps an E7-chord for the two first measures..
This is also repeated twice.. And VOILA.. Get Back.. I'm not sure about the
end though, but then again I don't think the Beatles were two sure about that
either...

theyre gonna crucify me.
Finally made the plane into paris
honeymooning down by the seine
peter brown called to say
you can make it ok
you can get married in gibraltar near spain ..
you know it aint easy.... etc
Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton
talking in our beds for a week
the newspapers said
whatre you doing in bed
i said we're only trying to get us some peace ...
you know it aint easy...etc

saving all your money for a rainy day
giving all your clothes to charity

last nite the wife said
oh boy when youre dead

You dont take nothing with you but your soul

Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag" ...CHORUS
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press say "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back"...CHORUS

I want a [C7]love that's right, but right is only half of what's wrong
I want a [Dm7]short-haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long
Now I'm [F7]stepping out this old brown shoe
[Ab] Baby I'm in love with you
I'm [F7]so glad you came here,
it [E7]won't be the same now I'm [Am]telling you
You know, you pick me up from where some tried to drag me down
And when I see your smile replacing every thoughtless frown
So escaping from this zoo
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here
It won't be the same now when I'm with you
{soc}
[G] If I grow up I'll be a singer
Wearing rings on [F]ev'ry finger
[G] Not worrying what they or you'll say
I'll live and love and [F]maybe someday
[F#o]Who knows baby you may comfort [G7]me...
{eoc}
{ci: instrumental on verse}
{soc}
I may appear to be imperfect
My love is something you can't reject
I'm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows baby you may comfort me...
{eoc}
I know my love is yours to miss that love is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start I'm making sure that I'm not late
For sweet top lip I'm in the queue
Baby I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
(Lennon/McCartney)
The Beatles
Let It Be (1970)
This is Across the universe as I believe John originally played it.
The song was sped up for inclusion on the World Wildlife Fund album
(as heard on Past Masters volume II), and then slowed down again for
the Let It Be album. When Phil Spector (producer of Let It Be) slowed
the song down, he actually brought the song down a half step; from D
to roughly C#. You can play along with the album by playing in C#,
tuning your guitar down a half step and playing in D, or using a capo
on the first fret and playing in C. Here it is in original form in D...

Includ various background noises (Vomitting?)
