Julia

Words & Music:

John Lennon & Paul McCartney

 

This is fully tabbed in the November/December 2008 issue of Guitar Edge.  It was originally played in C on a guitar that was capoed II (so, it sounds like it is in D).  Fingerpick this and use your pinky to add the 6ths & 9ths on the high E string.

 

C              Am7           Em

Half of what I say is meaningless.

C            Am7                Em  G    C

But I say it just to reach you, Ju---li---a.

 

CHORUS:

C   Am7   Gm7 Gm9   A7           F9    Fm7

So, I sing a song of love, Ju---li--a.

C   Am7   Gm7      Gm9   A7           F9    Fm7

BRIDGE:

Bm                          C           Am7    Am6 Em7    Em6  Em

Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering in the sun.

 

Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me.

So, I sing a song of love, Julia.

When I cannot speak my heart,

I can only speak my mind, Julia.
