12-string Guitar and Harmonica: I Should Have Known Better (Including lyrics and chords)
When I first started learning to play guitar at the age of 21, there was no internet, so the only way to find lyrics and chords for songs was to buy sheet music or books. In the case of The Beatles, when I found books of their songs, the songs were mostly written in keys using chords I could not play and even when I tried to transpose into a key with chords I was comfortable with, there were still some required that I could not play, so I rather gave up on ever playing and singing their songs. Nowadays, however, older and perhaps a little wiser, but still not particularly skilful as a guitarist, I am able to find the chords on the internet and transpose them easily and where necessary for my own playing, omit or simplify them for my own arrangements. I find "Ultimate Guitar" to be a very helpful site for this, though at times I feel their version does not quite sound right, so I tweak it to suit myself. Here then is my latest offering of The Beatles' song "I Should Have Known Better". (I added an extra "You love me too" in the annotations at the end. so just ignore).
