Hello, here's a tutorial for the Beatles Oh Darling one of Paul's tunes from Abbey Road
Okay this one
[G] The first chord [E] is a funny one
It's a D augmented.
There's that
chord
One strum on the intro [C] there you don't play the sixth or fifth strings
But from the [Em] fourth you're fretting on the second fret and then the second and third strings on the first fret and then the first
string open so you get [E] this
[C] and
It starts [A] on a in the [E] verse.
I'll just play the verse through slowly once
[A]
[E]
[Em] [F#m]
[F#] [D]
[E] [F#m]
[E] [A]
[D]
[A] [G#] [E]
[F#] So let's go through that the strum [Em] I really don't know the [F#] strum, but I'd kind of just [A] go
Strange rhythm this song
[G] But if you don't think that's [F#] right play something different, but that's why I do it
[A]
So it starts on A
[E] To E
[F#m] The next chord is an F sharp minor
You could play the full bar chord F sharp minor there.
I think I did my earlier cover of it
You can get away with just [G] playing that the cheat [F#m] one which um
[B]
Basically just you know if you can thumb the E [F#m] there on the second fret
[F#] You can play that string otherwise
[F#m] Fourth fourth second and just leave the [F#] top two strings open it sounds just as good.
I think
[A]
[E]
[F#m]
[D] Now that's a D now we want to be minus [D#] seven
[Bm]
Exactly the same as a B minor but just
Leaving the third string taking your pinky off the third string
[E]
Back to an E7 [F#m] and then the B minor 7 again
[E]
Again no
[A] Now here it's A
[D] D
[A]
A
[E] Then back to E
Or E7 [F#] but there is that little [A] run
[D] [A]
[F#] [E] If you want to incorporate that [A] in
It's basically just on the fifth string
open fifth
[C#] second fourth [F#] and then the [D] fourth string
Open [G] back onto the fifth string [B] fourth second
[A] fifth string open [Fm] and then on the
[G#]
sixth string [F#] second
[E]
So if you want to kind of incorporate that into the [F#] strum, there's probably several [D] ways you could do it you could [A] just
play the A down strokes then just
[E] pluck
[B] the [C#] C
[F#] fourth and [D] play the D
pinky then [B] up
On the [G] fourth and then the second on fifth then the [A] A again
[G#] [E] [G#]
sixth string [E] second
to the E7
You [A] could bar the A
[F#] [G#] Bar the [E] whole fifth string
[F#m]
[D] You want to keep the whole chord
[A]
[E] Couple ways you could do it.
But anyway, they're the notes you got to hit how you hit those notes is up to you
[F] right
So that's the [F#] verse then it's a repeat of that [G] for verse two
So I'll just do verse two so you can see it [F#] a little bit quicker.
Oh
[A] Darling
[E]
[F#m]
[D]
Leave me when [E] I beg you
[Bm] [E]
[A] Alone [D]
[A] instead of going down to an E7 here you're going just to an A7
You did that a7 or that a7 whatever one sounds better to you
Barring across the [C] four strings there on [G] the second and then playing the third fret on the [A] first string
[D] when you told me when you come into the
course
Okay, so here we've got a D
You [F] didn't need me anymore
That's an F7
[F]
Playing an F, but then just taking your pinky off the fourth string
Well, [A] you know, just back to your A again
I nearly broke down
and cried
Staying on the A there the whole time when [B] you told me now we need a B7 here
Me
You didn't need me anymore
[E] Well, you know
E7
I nearly [F] fell down
F7 [B] and then back to the E7 again [E] and
[A] [E] And then just finishing there on that D augmented which is the same [A] chord that you strummed right at the intro
[Am] Okay, so I'll just do that once for [D] you when you told me
You [F] need me
[A] No, I mean
When [B] you told me you need Me anymore
[E]
[F] [E]
[Am] [E] Augmented strange chord hard to get your fingers in place in time
[G] Then yeah, that's it
Really, how you just [G#] repeating the verse and that chorus again and then the verse another verse and to finish it
So it's really just those couple of bits that you need for this song
Anyway, um, [Gm] that is one of the hardest Beatles songs to sing as well
[G] Anybody who can sing that songs as well as Paul's doing pretty well, but um, anyway, there's our darling
[N] Bye
Okay this one
[G] The first chord [E] is a funny one

[Em] [F#m]
[F#] [D]
[E] [F#m]
[E] [A]

[F#] So let's go through that the strum [Em] I really don't know the [F#] strum, but I'd kind of just [A] go

So if you want to kind of incorporate that into the [F#] strum, there's probably several [D] ways you could do it you could [A] just
