In My Life

(Lennon/McCartney)
The Beatles
Rubber Soul (1965)

This song is in A, but much simpler to play in G. So capo at the second

fret.
There are some cool things in this song that I can't really include in a guitar
tab,
like the incredible bass line and the keyboard solo. I only wish I could play that
solo.
George Martin played that right? Note the synchopated G7 at the end of the first
and
third line of the verses. I think that is so cool.
Purists can transcribe this back into A.

There are places I remember

Some forever not for better,

Some have go--one and some remain.

With lovers and friends I still can recall,
Em A7
Some are dead and some are living,
Cm G
In my life I've loved them all.

G D Em G7
But of all these friends and lovers,
C Cm G
There is no one compares with you,
 G D Em G7
And these mem'ries lose their meaning,
C Cm G
When I think of love as something new.

Em C
Though I know I'll never lose affection
F G
For people and things that went before,
Em A7
I know I'll often stop and think about them,
Cm G
In my life I love you more.
