BEATLES - "all you need is love" Tablature
Official BEATLES Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: All You Need Is Love
Artist: The Beatles
Tabbed by: Cory Schuster (cjs1010@psu.edu)
Standard Tuning (E A D G)
I've seen a couple requests for this, and it's one of my favorites.
I've tried to approximate the rhythm, but it's pretty easy to pick out.
The beginning parenth of the time marks should match up
with the note being played at that time.
Please send comments/corrections to cjs1010@psu.edu

You can play some minor variations during certain parts, notably when
Paul slides from the 14th fret. Here's one I tend to play that fits
in well:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BEATLES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
