Did you ever try to play AYBCS on a 360/12, capo on the 2nd fret, and using the "D" chord? I tried it and can practically play both parts on one guitar.

I'll have to give that a try!

George Harrison's lead to AYBCS sounds heavily George Martin influenced to me.

( I love that bubbling bass ending to the song )

I was doing it last night with the capo on the 2nd fret and playing in the "D" key. I dropped the low "E" to "D" and tried it. That's even closer. It's a little hard when it comes to the F#m part but it's doable.

Howdy,

the CHORDS during the middle bit: "When your prize possesions.." the chord for "possesions" what in the DEVIL IS it? Gee whiz!!

Larry if you played with the capo on the second fret, in D...the chorus is

F#m==============F#m(maj7)
When your prized possesions
F#m7============B7
Start to weigh you down
D===========Em========A
Look in my direction, I'll be 'round

Then back to D

Give it a shot, works for me

Yeah, except what the heck is an F sharp minor major 7th?

Barre at second fret, one finger at fourth fret on A and and another at the fourth fret on D, lift to the third fret ond D and then to an F#m7. It's a natural progression, All of this is done with the capo on the second fret.

In other words it's F#m, Fmmaj7 and F#m 7

Gotcha, Stan. But I'm sitting here, trying to barre my second fret but there's a capo on there already...

Oh, I get it.

Most enjoyable is the so-called "jewel" tuning. No matter which chord variation you enter, it gives you an open-tuned CM chord. Ha!
