Please note: This is really an approximative arrangement of Harrison's song.
I am not a professional musician, so there is plenty of cheating along, but
you may be able to get the feel of the original by following the way I
worked out the melody for an acoustic guitar.
I indicated the way I strum the strings to get as close as I could to the
song, but my indications are not to be taken to the letter; please feel free
to strum your own way!
You can certainly improve on the solo, where I did not use any bends -and
its end is not what Harrison plays, for sure, but it allows you to branch
smoothly into the following verse. Keep strumming those low strings as an
accompaniement and for "depth", too.
As for the second half of the bridge, I just ignored going up the guitar's
neck, choosing to play one octave lower.
I hope that Harrison would not have minded this version. I have not found
any transcription of this song on the net yet, so here it is; I hope
somebody somewhere will take it from here and do better. Thanks George.
