>From Fred Lidskog <swede@email.unc.edu>
I Am The Walrus, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, performed by
Oasis.
Song can be found on the UK "Cigarettes & Alcohol" and US "Wonderwall"
singles.
Thanks to Bret U. <breezy@surfsouth.com> for sending me the correct lyrics
to the song.
(Most of the chords in this song are played as bar chords, except for the
"D"'s during the verses. The "E" is almost always played as the low "E",
not the high one.)
[NOTE: As the guitar plays the chord progression A C D E A during
the verses, I think the bass plays A G D E A, and you can also hear
an F# note being played by somebody during that "D" chord. Anyways, if you
want to try and put that into one guitar part, play A C/G D/F# E A
during the verses.]
C/G = (335553) or (332010)
D/F# = (200232)
D7 = (xx0212)
C7 = (x35353)
B7 = (x24242)
