Nowhere Man - John Lennon/Paul McCartney.

From Rubber Soul - (P)1965

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
F#m            Am                E
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

        {-----------------}

E              B
Doesn't have a point of view
A                    E
Knows not where he's going to
F#m        Am               E
Isn't he a bit like you and me

        G#m         A
Nowhere man, please listen
          G#m              A
You don't know what you're missing
        G#m      F#m      A              B
Nowhere man, the world is at your command

Solo:

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man can you see me at all?

Nowhere man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

Verse 3:
E7                                Am
used to think of no one else  But you were just the same  You
E7                                Am
didn't even think of me       As someone with a name      Did you mean
Am              B7                E7
to break my heart and watch me die                        Tell me why
B7                             E7
                   What goes on                           in your mind
E7
in your mind...

There is a solo by another guitar, but it is a different one, can't think of the name of
it off hand.  This little bit of tab is also played by a basic accoustic in the backround.

Back to verse


Ending is just G C G C over & over




IN MY LIFE
(Lennon/McCartney)
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.
