To learn The Beatles - A Day In The Life chords with lyrics, - Anthology 2 Versionthese are the chords to practise in sequence: F, Em, C, E, C, G, D, A, G, Bm. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 41 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 82. Configure the capo to your vocal range and chord preference, remembering the key of G.
