A Taste Of honey -- Beatles 1962

(Sent by jckfran1@yahoo.com)

The following represents my own representation of this beautiful song. Use however you please! Please email me with any comments or corrections....

I found the original key (on the original album) to be somewhere between Fm and F#m. The Beatles, I think, rather enjoyed tuning up or down to suit their vocal characteristics. I also found it in the key of Fm (sounded like they were actually rehearsing this song, and probably were) from a downloaded Mp3 from one of the share sites. However, the F#m key is much more simple for the guitar, so here is what I have. The lyrics are straight from the record. Any chord mistakes are of my own doing. Enjoy! 

Key = F#m

   F#m	 F+    A     B       B	 E     Bm

If you listen carefully you can hear the individual chord notes plucked during the verse, along with the B chord notes played on the 11th fret. However, B played on the 2nd fret does just as well.

The Beatles - A Taste Of Honey
The Beatles - A Taste Of Honey High Quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGl9yqreEzg&feature=email&fmt=18 Copyright - 1963 EMI Records Ltd. "A Taste of Honey" is a pop standard written by Bobby Scott and Ric Marlow. It was first performed by Scott, and its title may have been inspired by the 1958 English play A Taste of Honey which reached Broadway in 1960. The most famous version of this song was the instrumental cover by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass on their album Whipped Cream & Other Delights, becoming a top ten hit in 1965 and winning the Grammy Award for Record of the Year. While this is the best remembered version, two others had competed in the charts in 1962: both Martin Denny and The Victor Feldman Quartet had minor hits with their takes on the song. The only vocal version to chart was the 1964 minor hit for Tony Bennett. The newest version recorded as a single release was by Howard Bailey. Sticking close to the Herb Alpert version, Bailey played all the main brass melodies on the guitar. Beatles' version It was covered by The Beatles on their debut album Please Please Me. It was a favourite of Paul McCartney's, and was included in the Beatles' repertoire in 1962. John Lennon sometimes played around with the title, calling it "A Waste of Money".[citation needed] (Satirist Allan Sherman actually recorded a parody song called "A Waste of Money") The Beatles performed "A Taste of Honey" on many BBC radio shows, including Here We Go, Side by Side and Easy Beat. Recorded February 11, 1963 Lyrics: A taste of honey tasting much sweeter than wine Do dut don du, do dut don du I dream of your first kiss and then I feel upon my lips again A taste of honey A taste of honey tasting much sweeter than wine Do dut don du, do dut don du I will return, yes I will return I'll come back for the honey, and you Do dut don du, to dut don du Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart There lingers still though we're far apart A taste of honey A taste of honey tasting much sweeter than wine Do dut don du, do dut don du I will return, yes I will return I'll come back, I'll come back for the honey, for the honey and you
