Martha My Dear by The Beatles guitar tab (text):

From: Brad Mahugh 

Subject: TAB:  by 

 

MARTHA,MY DEAR

 

Written by: John Lennon - Paul McCartney

orginially appeared on the album, "The Beatles" (the White Album),
1968

 

Notes:

This is mostly a piano & orchestra performance on the White
album.

I've always liked the song, so came up with this arrangement for
guitar

accompaniment.

 

Any ideas for fleshing this out, improving or arranging an intro
for it,

let me know. Also, this is my first full attempt at writing
guitar

tab notation, so hope its close enough for government work
.

 

I use capo at 3rd fret (chords listed are transposed to 1st
position)

The song is really in key of E flat on the record (not C)

 

 

 

Martha my dear though I spend my days in conver-sa-tion
