THE BEATLES - I AM THE WALRUS (Lennon & McCartney) Released on
24th November 1967 as flip side to HELLO GOODBYE
single.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
There were eight violins, four celli, a bass clarinet and three
horns in this song. As ever, the string glissandos could never be
achieved with a guitar, not even using a slide, due to the guitar
fretting & the different tone and stringing of those instruments,
but I think that a couple of guitars or even just one could get
an interesting rendition of this song.
Don't miss the Mike Sammes Singers in the Coda, a vocal group with
eight men and eight wonen, who perform in unison the ho ho hoo he
he hee ha ha haa and some woooohs and strange things, besides that
ending choir after John's first Oompah oompah.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Goo goo goo joob
Mister City P'liceman sitting
Pretty little p'licemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Goo goo goo joob.
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob.
Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, See how they sny.
I'm crying.
Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo a'joob, g' goo goo g'joob, (goo goo goo joob
goo goo goo joob goo goo gooooooooooooo joooooooob)

The following is a curious circling chord sequence A, G, F, E, D,
C, and B5, in which some instruments keep ascending while others
descend. It is repeated several times and then fades out.

The final master was an editing of remixes 10 and 22. The voices
heard on the Coda were supposedly fed live by John on Wednesday
September, 29th, 1967, from a BBC radio broadcast, Shakespeare's
"The Tragedy Of King Lear", scheduled for 7:30 to 10:40 pm that
day, while they were performing remix 22. In the fragment, Edgar,
the older, legitimate son of Gloucester stabs Oswald, steward in
the house of Goneril, Lear's ruthless, oldest daughter:
02:24
Gloucester - Now, goo, sir [what are you?]
Edgar - A [most poor] man made tame to fortune's [blows]
03:46
Aaaaaaaaaaahh!
Oooooh
Oswald - Thou have slain me!
Villain, take my purse.
If thou ever [wilt thrive,] bury my body
And give the letters which thou findst about me
To Edmund, Earl of Gloucester.
Seek him out upon the British party.
Oh, untimely death!
Edgar - I know thee well, a serviceable villain,
as duteous to the vices of thy mistress
As badness would desire!
Gloucester - What, is he dead?
Edgar - Sit you down, father, rest you.
I think some voices might have been taken live from that broadcast,
but I suppose that anybody'll hear at least three different voices
embodying Oswald, so I think they might have used some from maybe a
couple of other shows or played some themselves.
