I Feel Fine - The Beatles ------------------------- Transcribed by Howard Wright hakwright (at) gmail (dot) com The song is in the key of G, though you could easily move the riff up and down the neck to change the key if you wanted to. The song is built around one guitar riff, which is heard on its own during the intro. The riff is based on an E-shape bar chord. The little finger (pinky) is the only finger that needs to move to get the extra notes. INTRO: ------- E----------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------- G-------------------12--11------11------------------10--9------9-- D-------12-12-10----10--10--14--10-------10-10-8----8---8--12--8-- A-------12-12----12---------12-----------10-10---10--------10----- E----10--------------------------------8-------------------------- E------------------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------------------ G-------------5--4-----4-------------5--4-----4-------- D-----5-5-3---3--3--7--3-----5-5-3---3--3--7--3-------- A-----5-----5-------5--------5-----5-------5----------- E---3----------------------3--------------------------- This is obviously just the same riff played at different positions on the neck. It starts at the 10th fret (D), moves to the 8th fret (C) then down to the 3rd fret (G). Most of the song can be played with just this riff played at the three different positions (G - 3rd fret, C - 8th fret, D - 10th fret) The basic chords are shown below - you can simply strum the chord shapes for a simpler approach (G = 320003, C = x32010, D = xx0232) or play the riff above at the appropriate position for a more authentic sound. VERSE: ------- G Baby's good to me, you know, G She's happy as can be, you know, D She said so. CHORUS: -------- D C G I'm in love with her and I feel fine. The only different bit is the middle 8: MIDDLE 8: ---------- G Bm C D7 I'm so glad that she's my little girl G Bm Am D7 She's so glad she's telling all the world Middle 8 chord shapes: Bm = x24432 D7 = xx0212 Am = x02210 The solo is over the G/C/D riff. The ending repeats the main riff at the G position and fades out. Enjoy! HowardBack to guitar tabs
