It's a pretty easy song to learn, as there are only a few different chords. Great one from Sgt. Pepper album.

  • Is this a Clavichord or a Piano? correct me please...

  • @zeromant80 The original instrument on this song is a harpsichord, probably the same one they used on "Piggies."

  • Youre a true piana original, feller!

  • @TheAmericanOriginal Thanks.  :-)

  • Thanks for posting this pianojohn. This is very helpful. Just one question: The verses consist of two measures of F, Fm, Fm7, Fm6, and then six measures of Fm7 and Bflat9. This 8 bar phrase is then repeated. In the last verse, there is one of these 8 bar phrases, and then the ending/fadeout. On the ending/fadeout, should one play this 8 bar phrase again, or does the entire ending consist of just Fm7 to Bflat9? Please advise. Thanks

  • @guitarkaraokeguy Great question, thanks! At the end, it really just moves from the Fm7 to the Bb9 and back again.. the 8-bar phrase you mentioned is heard only on the verses. One note on that musical passage - I would suggest that the second chord is more of an augmented C than an Fm, or at least it sounds that way to me. I hear a C in the bass there, with E - Ab- C in the right. I could be wrong, but that's how I've always heard it.
