Chords for ♪♫ The Beatles - Across The Universe (Tutorial)

Okay I'm gonna make an attempt to show you how to play Across the Universe, one
of the nicest Beatles songs to play.
I think I do it with capo on the first
fret because [Db] I like to try and play the version from the [Ab] Wild Wild Life phone, not
the [C] shitty let it be [G] version with all the strings.
It's great but nobody was
good at this version but [Eb] capo or not it's up to you.
So the intro is a nice
[Db] part on this song.
Starting with a C and you're gonna slide up and play a C on
the top three [Eb] strings which is _ [F] _ _
eight frets up [Db] and _ top three strings you can
play the eighth, the eighth and the ninth so try [F] _ play _ _ [Db] _ the three [Bb] then you get a
pluck so come down to the seventh fret [G] relative to the capo and [Cm] fret the first
and the third strings all right it's got _ that _ [F] slide down two [Bbm] more and _ _ [Eb] _ then
make a D minor formation starting on the third [Fm] fret you'll still pluck those two _
_ play the second _ _
[Db] get this _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Bbm] _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] then go down to an E minor that you're gonna hammer on
and off the [E] third _ [Fm] string on the second fret _ then _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [D] make a G formation but again
[Ab] you're gonna be still be hammering on to the [E] third string off don't worry
about playing [Ab] that E down here. _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ All right so it goes like [Db] this really slowly _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ right I won't go through it again or the video will go forever so that's the intro
_ _ [Db] verse got a few quite a few chords in this that starts on C to [Bbm] A minor [Fm] to D minor
to _ _ [F] [Ebm] G _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
to G7 [F] [Db] so
words are [Bbm] flowing out like [Fm] endless rain into a paper cup [Ebm] they slither while they pass
they [Ab] slip away across the _ universe
[F] and again
[Db] _ walls of [Bbm] sorrow, waves of joy [Fm] are drifting through my open mind [Ebm] _ possessing it
just after the D minor here you go to an F minor
[Gbm] _ possessing me _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] and chorus _ C
to my guru, _ _ _ devil
_ [Ab] to G _ _
_ G7
_ nothing's gonna change my world _ _
to F
[Gb] _ nothing's gonna change my [Db] world C
_ _ _ [Ab] G
nothing's gonna change my world G7
_ F
[Gb] _
nothing's gonna change my [Db] world C _ _ _ _ _
okay [F] brush through that a bit haven't I
so we'll just go through the chords of the [Eb] verse one more time [Db] quickly _ _
_ C
_ [Bbm] _
A minor
_ [Fm] D minor _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ G
_ _ _ [Ab] G _
_ G7 _ [Db] C [Bbm] A minor _ [Fm] D minor
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Gbm] F minor _ _
chorus [Db] C to _ _ _ _ _ _
_ G
[Ab] _ _ _
_ G7 _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ F
[Gb] _ _ _
_ _ C
[Db] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] G _
_ _ _ _ G7
_ _ _ [Gb] F _
_ _ _ [Db] C _
_ _ _ _ _
okay
I [N] think that's really all you need
_ you've got more chorus, more verse
and right at the end you're [Gb] just
J guru [Db] David C _ _ _ _
so um
[G] yeah I think that's all the signals you need
[F] so I hope that's enough to get you started
