Song: She's leaving home
Artist: The Beatles
Composer: Lennon and McCartney
Album: Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Tabbed by DJ 31st May 2016
FINE TUNING:
The original backing track is sharp. To match it for
playing along to, use a chromatic tuner and tune all
the strings up approx. +40 cents above standard pitch.
Alternatively, to avoid any retuning, videos of live
performances are more likely to be in standard pitch.
Here's a 2003 Paul McCartney live performance in
standard pitch:
TIME SIGNATURE: 3/4 (Waltz time)
CAPO: 4th fret
(Will then sound in the approx. recorded key of E)
I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the bottom of the tab.

=====================================================
PLAYING INFO:
The song is best played fingerpicking arpeggios for
most of the song, to emulate the sweeping harp.
For the Am7 to D9 pizzicato sections and also the
bar of D9 at the end of the verses, pluck the strings
together simultaneously on each beat.
