SHE LOVES YOU
(Lennon/McCartney)
The Beatles
Past Masters Vol. I
Note: The "yea yea yea" phrase is a simple G-> F#-> E (these are notes,
not chords). It gets interesting at the end of each chorus when
the run goes G-> F#-> E-> D and the E AND the D notes get held out.
This creates that cool dissonance. The dissonace is all in the
vocals, but I'm writing it here as a G6 chord for the guitar (see
below for fingering). I just want you to be aware that the
Beatles are not playing this chord on their instruments (they are
playing a regular G chord).
