Tomorrow Never Knows
                              (Lennon/McCartney)
                                 The Beatles
                                Revolver (1966)



The "drone" underlying the entire song is a C.  There is a Bb implied
by the melody and some horn-like instrument in the second line of each
phrase.  Ignore the Bb if you wish.



 C
Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
           Bb                C
It is not dying, it is not dying


Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
        Bb              C
It is shining, it is shining


Yet you may see the meaning of within
       Bb            C
It is being, it is being



[weird stuff and backward guitar solo]


 C
Love is all and love is everyone
        Bb             C
It is knowing, it is knowing


And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
         Bb               C
It is believing, it is believing


But listen to the color of your dreams
             Bb               C
It is not leaving, it is not leaving


So play the game "Existence" to the end
          Bb                C
Of the beginning, of the beginning
          Bb                C
Of the beginning, of the beginning
          Bb                C
Of the beginning, of the beginning
          
Of the beginning
