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.

This is the little downwards scale played on a harp-like instrument. Leave all strings to sustain as much as possible.
