============================================================================ The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby ============================================================================ In 4/4, standard tuning. Intro: [:C |C |Em |Em :] |1 2& &4& |1 2& &4& |1 2& &4& |1 2& &4& | Verse: |Em |Em |Em |C | |m&m&m&m& |m&m&m&m& |m&m&m&m& |m&m&m&m& |C Em |Em |Em |Em | |m&m&m&m& |m&m&m&m& |m&m&m&m& |m&m&m&m& | |C |C Em | |m&m&m&m& |m&m&m&m& | Chorus: [:Em7 |Em6 |C/E |Em :] |1 2& &4& |1 2& &4& |1 2& &4& |1 2& &4& | Repeat Verse. Repeat Chorus. Repeat Intro. ============================================================================ Chords: C [x32010] 1on2, 2on4, 3on5 Em [022000] 2on5, 3on4 (alt: 1on5, 2on4 for Chorus) Em7 [022030] 1on5, 2on4, 4on2 Em6 [022020] 1on5, 2on4, 3on2 C/E [032010] 1on2, 2on4, 3on5 (just a C chord but strumming the E string) ============================================================================ Notes: The strumming during the verse is a muted down-strum (hence the "m") with an open up-strum. The strumming during the intro and chorus is a typical down-strum on downbeats and up-strum on upbeats. So the first measure would be "d du udu". ============================================================================
