Genre: pop, rock, folk


One of my favourites with the Beatles from their fantastic album Revolver.

Couldn't find a version with the Fmaj7, also added the solo and the bassline.

As always listen to the song so you know when to change chord and when to play the bass notes.

Peace brothers and sisters!
Tuning 1/2 step down - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

When I wake up early in the morning, lift my head I'm still yawning.

When I'm in the middle of a dream, stay in bed float upstream.

Lying there and staring at the ceiling, waiting for a sleepy feeling

Em Am G C G C Am

[Chorus 2]
