Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
This song was recorded in a single session (7:00 pm to 12:30
am) on May, 12th 1967, the following day in which BABY YOU'RE
A RICH MAN (B side of ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE) was recorded.
The Beatles were finishing SGT PEPPER's album and working on
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR and they'd also agreed to do an animated
film after their REVOLVER album song YELLOW SUBMARINE.
The song was considered rather trite by many when the record
was finally released. It was trite enough to be sung by huge
crowds on English football stadiums for several seasons, but
it was made so simple on purpose. John's harmonica is played
in a very nonchalant, almost childish, way and he plays also
a plastic sax with which he produces some fine humorous bits
(see 01:12-01:17). He also plays banjo and is quite involved,
being a song from Paul, though it's possible that the bridge,
which he sings, was his. Paul plays bass, two acoustic guitar
tracks and sings, Ringo plays drums and triangle and George
just handclaps and backing vocals, like the rest of people
they summoned in the studio. The long speeding tempo gives it
just what it needed to make it into a very funny and cheerful
demonstration. I've played this a lot of times and think that
anyone could sing it sometimes, provided they are able to get
loose enough, which I think it's not such a bad thing at all.
One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
I love you
A, B, C, D
Can I bring my friend to tea
E, F, G, H, I, J
I love you
Bom bom bom
Bom pa bom Sail the ship
Bom pa bom Chop the tree
Bom pa bom Skip the rope
Bom pa bom Look at me
All together now, ...
Black, white, green, red
Can I take my friend to bed?
Pink, brown, yellow, orange and blue,
I love you.
All together now, ...
Bom pa bom Sail the ship
Bom pa bom Chop the tree
Bom pa bom Skip the rope
Bom pa bom Look at me
All together now, ...
