Julia Tabs

(ver. 3)
Beatles
ok- the bridge is a bit shaky here but it's the right idea at least (all
I have here is my trusty old Ovation 12 and it gets kinda rough to hear
if I'm doing things right or not...) some of the bass notes are a bit of
a reach [and may also not be right- esp. the G+9/Gm7 part...]  feel free
to mail me any corrections, or just enjoy as is...

"Julia"                                

ok.... you'll need a capo on the second fret for this one...  hopefully it's
(mostly) right... after you listen to it too long... well, you know, your ear
gets harmonically whacked. ugh.... have fun...

oh yeah... consider all the notes to be up 2fr... it just doesn't sound right
in C... also the chords are from a book... some of the 7th's don't sound like
7th's to me and I don't have them tabbed that way. 

Part I: (verse/chorus)
                                     [I']

[I]   D             Bm7           F#m7
      When I cannot sing my heart,
      D          Bm7            F#m7  A7
      I can only speak my mind, Ju-----li-a.
[II]  D     Bm7 Am       Am7   B7           G9    Gm7
      Ju--li-a, sleeping sand, silent cloud touch me.
[I']  D           Bm7           F#m7  A7
      So I sing a song of love, Ju-----li-a.

             JULIA    -   The Beatles 
         ---------------------------------



                      From the White Album



You'll need a capo for this one on the 1st or 2nd fret.

The TAB for this might look a bit daunting at first, but it's based
on pretty straight forward chord shapes.

The only chords you need are these :


 EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE
 332010     002213     022003     320033     353333

   C/G       Am7/E        Em         G         Gm7


 EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE
 353335     575655     131213     131114     224432 

  Gm9         A7         F9         Fm7       Bm/F#


 EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE     EADGBE   
 002212     022030     022020     022010     332000

  Am6/E      Em7        Em6       Emadd#5     Cmaj7/G



To get the picking pattern in your head, I'll give a brief
explanation.

The key to it is the movement of the thumb. The thumb picks out
the notes on the E, A and D strings. For each chord played, the
order of strings which the thumb picks is the same - it goes
like this :

 A D E D

While the thumb gets on with this, use your other fingers to
fill in the notes on the top strings.

If you try it a few times, slowly, you should pick up the natural
rhythm which the picking pattern has.

Then, just practice !

I've tabbed the song out in full, although you'll soon realise
that a lot of it is very similar with certain sections being
repeated here and there.
