She Said She Said - The Beatles --------------------------------------------- From the album 'Revolver' transcribed by Howard Wright howardw (at) jmdl (dot) com h = hammer on p = pull off b = bend r = release bend I think you need a capo at the 2nd fret for this one, so when the chords below say A, play a standard A shape (x02220) above the capo - it ends up sounding as a B. (fret numbers given relative to the capo at 2nd fret). Intro riff : ------------ E------------------------- B------2h3--2h3--2h3-5---- G--2h4-----------------2-- D------------------------- A------------------------- E------------------------- What I have for the chords is : A G D A G D She said I know what it's like to be dead I know what it ... Basically it's these three chords for nearly the whole song, apart from : Em A7 D A7 D When I was a boy e'thing was right e'thing was right And that's it. As for the instruments: one guitar plays the chords, with a cleanish sound. The second electric plays lead parts which sometimes echo the tune, but this guitar also plays the riff that comes after 'making me feel like I've never been born' : E--------------------------------- B------------------------------ G---4b6r4-2--4--0-----0---2--------- D-------------------2---2-------- A------------------------------- E------------------------------- So, with these two guitars you have bass - fairly simple stuff here, a lot of root notes except for the 'when I was a boy' bit, where the bass plays on the 1st 3rd and 5th of the chords. Add drums, and harmony vocals (nearly all singing in 3rds) and you've got it. I just recorded a cover of this on 8-track, and stuck pretty much to the original sound. I double tracked that riff to give it more edge, and added a few more vocals, but it sounded very good. As a point of interest, check out the cymbals on the original. On the bit with the guitar riff (between verses) there seem to be a lot of loud cymbals - a lot louder than the bulk of the song. Maybe they overdubbed extra cymbals here ? It certainly gives it a powerful sound, and on the fade out too there's a lot of cymbals. Great song ! Howard
