Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: She's leaving home Artist: The Beatles Composer: Lennon and McCartney Album: Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Tabbed by DJ ['DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com] 31st May 2016 This is best played fingerstyle. I suggest alternating the style between simultaneously plucking the strings together [simulating the pizzicato violins] and full arpeggios. An advantage of playing this in C on guitar is the relatively easier chords, with the additional option to be able to lower the capo and the key, if needed, to help sing those very high notes. FINE TUNING: The backing track tape was most likely sped up slightly, raising the pitch sharply. To match it for playing along, use a chromatic tuner and tune all the strings up approx. +40 cents above standard pitch. Alternatively, to avoid any retuning, live performances are more likely to be in standard pitch.
