IN MY Life - Beatles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: JboyShyne@Yahoo.com
Here's a fingerstyle arrangement of In My Life by the Beatles that I recently arranged
on my classical guitar. Although the Beatles did the tune in A, I found it easier to
fingerstyle it in the key of G, especially during the intro with the open G and Dsus
chords. If one wants to play it in A, a capo at the 2nd fret could be employed and then
everything would be moved up 2 frets.
