In My Life

Words & Music:

John Lennon & Paul McCartney

 

This is fully tabbed in the "R.I.P." issue of Guitar Legends.  Some versions replace the F#5 and B5 with F#m and Bm, respectively.

 

INTRO RIFF:  [2x]

    A                  E

e |----5----------0----4--|

B |-2----2-h.o.3----------|

D |-----------------------|

A |-0----0----------------|

 

A                E   F#m   A7       D   Dm        A

There are places I remember
all my life-- though some have changed.

A            E       F#m   A7            D  Dm      A

Some forever not for better--; some have gone-- and some remain.

          F#5               D5           G                    A

All these places have their moments with lovers and friends I still can recall.

F#5               B5         Dm            A

Some are dead and some are living; in my life, I've loved them all.

 

INTRO RIFF:  [1x]

 

But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you.

And these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new.

Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before;

I know I'll often stop and think about them; in my life I love you more.

 

INSTRUMENTAL HALF-VERSE:  A  E  F#m A7 D Dm  A  [2x]

 

Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before;

I know I'll often stop and think about them; in my life I love you more.

 

INTRO RIFF:

 

[n.c.]                 [outro riff here]

In my life, I love you more.
