This is "Well Well Well" by John Lennon. I think it should definately be

played with at least some distortion. I've only tabbed the verses, since I

can't exactly figure out what he's doing during the chorus, but here it

goes!

She looked so beautiful I could eat her

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

I took my loved one to a big field

so we could watch the English sky

We both were nervous feeling guilty

and neither one of us knew just why

(Chorus) start screaming at the top of your lungs for a few minutes, then

(Solo)

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

We sat and talked of revolution

Just like two liberals in the sun

We talked of women's liberation

And how the hell we could get things done

(Chorus)

(Verse 2, again)

I took my loved one to a big field

so we could watch the English sky

We both were nervous feeling guilty

and neither one of us knew just why

(Chorus)

done.

All in all, it's a pretty simple song -- No chords to remember, it's

actually

just playing a blues scale a few frets down. Practice it for a little

while.

The hardest part is hitting the open 1st string on almost every note. It's

a

real pain. If anyone can figure out the stuff he does during the chorus,

it

would be greatly appreciated. I think it's just playing muted and

semi-muted

strings, but I'm not sure. If anyone has any miscelanious Paul McCartney

chords or tabs from 'McCartney' or 'Ram', please send them to me.

>From Plastic Ono Band, 1970
