Strawberry fields forever
Let me take you down 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone.
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in
But it's all right.
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes'.
But it's all wrong.
That is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed

It's getting hard to be someone.
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in
But it's all right.
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes'.
But it's all wrong.

Let me take you down 'Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles
-----------------------------------------------------
From the album 'Magical Mystery Tour'
Tabbed by Howard Wright
There are two other versions of this in the archives, but none are in the
right key. I thought a great song such as this deserved a proper tab in the
archives.
Because the recording of this song involved a lot of playing around with
tape speeds, you need to tune down your guitar by a whole step.
So instead of tuning your bottom string to E, tune to D, then tune the other
strings to this by playing at the 5th/4th fret (you know the routine ...)
You should end up tuned to DGCFAD.
This means that the song is based on the C chord for the guitar, but it
ends up being in the key of Bb.
I've tried to give a guitar part that does justice to all the things that are
going on in the song. For the first bit it's fairly straight forward since the
song has a guitar playing here - but later on I've tried to tab out a guitar
version of what the cellos and trumpets are doing.
Of course you can't play all of the song on just one guitar - but you can do
a pretty good job. I've written the chords above each line of tab if you just
want to strum along, and the words are underneath the line of tab.
Intro :
---------
This is played on the mellotron, but you can do it fairly easily on guitar.
