Chords for ♪♫ The Beatles - I'm Looking Through You (Tutorial)

[N] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ I'm looking through you.
_ _ _ [C] Beatles tutorial this is one [Ab] of Paul's tunes from _ Rubber
Soul.
[Eb] I believe it's a song he [D] wrote about _ Jane Asher.
_ [Gb] _ Anyway [Ab] I'll show you
how to play this one.
[C] Capo is needed for the first fret if you want to [Eb] keep it in
tune with the album version.
If you don't have a capo [C] don't worry about it, just don't use a
capo.
[E] _ _
Anyway [C] we'll put it on the first fret for the tutorial. _ _ _
This song _ [F] _ chords
are fairly [Ab] simple but there are lots of quick [Eb] chord changes in this one which
might make it a bit tricky [F] for beginners. _ _ _
[Gb] The other thing I should point out too
with this [Db] one, _ the C chords [Gb] in this one are played with the pinky [Fm] on the first
[F] string third fret.
_ [C] Okay you don't have to [Gb] but I think correctly [Db] _ _ in this song that's
how they're played and _ that means [Ab] _
you're gonna be going [Db] between C and [Ab] G
a fair bit in this song so you want to play your G's with this formation as well which
makes it an easy [Db] transition.
So the C _ _ [Ab] _ back to the G okay.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] Now you're gonna be doing a fair bit of that. _
Alright so don't don't play your four finger G's if you can.
_ Play it like this that way [Db] the
transition to the C with that first string fret on the third is easier.
_ _ Alright [C] let's just get the intro [D] out of the way quickly [Ab] first. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] We need those two chords
which are a D chord, sorry a G chord and a D chord just up the fretboard.
[Ab] So this G
[Eb] actually is shaped like a D so _ _ make your D [C] formation where you normally would [Eb] and
slide it up to the seventh fret _ in relation to the capo. _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ Just strum the top
three strings.
_ _ _ _ _ The next chord _ [Ebm] is a G chord but it's going to be shaped like this.
So the first [Bb] string is fretted on the fifth _ _ then the second and third [F] strings are fretted on the
seventh.
[Eb] _ _ _
Strum from the fourth string down as the fourth is effectively a D _ _ so you get _ [Ab] and _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
then just come down to a G [Ab] chord. _ _
[Db] You're going [Ab] between the G and [Db] the C as I was mentioning [Ab] earlier.
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ Strum kind _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] of just like that. _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ Alright let me just go through the chord slowly now for the verse.
_ _ I'm [Db] looking _ [Bbm] through _ _ you, _
_ _ [Fm] _ where did you _ [Eb] go? _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ I thought I [Bbm] knew you, _ _ _ [Fm] _
what did I [Eb] know?
_ _ You _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ don't [Bb] look _ different [Bbm] _ but [Ab] you _ _ [Db] _
have [Eb] _ changed. _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Db] I'm looking _ [Bbm] through _ you, _ _ [Db] _
you're not the [Ab] same. _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ Okay so _ I'm [Db] _ looking starts on the C.
_ Looking.
You're going [C] to run down to an A minor which is
basically then from C [Cm] you're going to run down the fifth string to a B over _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] C _ and then to a
regular A minor.
_ [Bbm] Through _ _ you to E minor.
_ [Fm] _ _ Where _ did you [Eb] go?
D.
_ _ _ _ On the D sometimes I just like to release the
first string. _ _ _
Come back into the D when you're coming back up to the next G.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
I [Db] _ thought.
Notice
I'm [Ab] doing that shape G so _ [Db] I thought _
_ _ [Fm] I _ knew _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ you.
E minor.
_ [Fm] _ What _ did I [Eb] know?
D. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That release there, you don't have to do that but I think that's how it does it in the _ _ album version.
_ _ _ _ [Fm] E minor.
_ You don't look [Bbm] _
_ _ different.
_ You don't have to do it this way you can [Fm] go straight to an A minor but [Bbm] I like to do it _ Asus4.
_ Different. _
And then release to the A minor.
So make an A [Fm] minor and then pinky just comes up onto the second string [Bb] third fret. _ _
_ Different.
And then release it.
_ Different.
To the A minor. _ _ _ _
But [Ab] _ you G _ _ _
[Db] have C _ _ [Eb] changed _ D. _ _ _ _ _
Doing that release again.
[Ab] G. _ _
_ _ I'm [Db] walking down from the C to the [Bbm] A minor again. _ _ _
Back up to the C.
_ [Db] _ _
You're not the [Ab] same. _ _
_ [Db] _ Back [Ab] into just the G [Db] to the C as it was [Ab] in the intro.
_ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ So just one time up to speed with the [Bb] vocals.
_ _ [Ab] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] I'm looking [Bbm] through you.
_ [Fm] Where did you [Eb] go? _
_ _ [Ab] I [Fm] thought I [Bbm] knew you.
_ [Fm] What did I [Eb] know?
_ _ [Fm] You don't [Bb] look different but [Ab] you [Db] have [Eb] changed.
_ _ [Fm] I'm looking [Bbm] through you.
_ [Db] You're not the [Ab] same. _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ You repeat that exactly the same for verse two.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And the only other part you need [Gb] for the song is the bridge which is very [Db] simple.
Again just going from [Ab] C to G again. _
_ [Db] Why tell me why did you not [Ab] treat me right? _ _
_ Back to [Db] C.
Love has a nasty habit [Ab] of _ disappearing. _
[Bb] Here I just like to go straight to the Dsus.
So because you're already on a _ [Db] _ _ C, because you're [C] fretting that, you can just leave that pinky there and just come back and shape [Eb] your D. _ _ _
You release the pinky to come back to the D.
So from the Dsus to the D. _ _ _ _
[Db] Love has a nasty habit of [Eb] _ disappearing _ _ overnight. _
[Ab] You're bleeding [Bbm] on me.
And then back into a [Bb] verse again.
_ _ [B] Then I think all you've got to do [Bb] is repeat _ _ _ _ another verse, repeat bridge [Gb] again.
And the outro [Ab] is just _ [Gb] again the same as the intro.
[Ab] Just _ _ [Db] the G to the C.
[G] _
_ _ _ That's it.
Just the [C] two parts to the song.
[F] _ But as I said, lots of quick chord changes.
_ _ It is a fairly quick song so even when I said I played it up to speed it was probably [E] still a bit slow.
[Eb] _ But obviously just start learning it [Db] slowly and then speed it up as you become more familiar with the chords. _ _ _ _ _ _
I think that's all I need to show you for this one.
So _ anyway, I hope that was good enough for you.
Bye. _
