Marianne Faithfull (Broken English, 1979)
Original by John Lennon
Capo 3 for Marianne Faithfull recording
The Intro and the first part of the recording are bass-notes only, A and G.
They continue to drive through the whole song.
I've included the full Am and G chords from the start though, as they
gradually filter in on top
of the bass line. Build them into your arrangement, but never lose the
relentless menacing A & G bass.
