On the chords the (b) = barred
On the bridge part strum the chord 2x then mute 2x again then mute,
and what i mean by mute is take ur palm and lay across the strings,
that's why i labeled the chord more than once.
In my first version I forgot to add something towards the end before the last bridge,
but I put it in the 2nd to last chorus.
b = bend
~ = vibrato
= slide down
p = pull

Zam band plays cover of Beatles song "Back In The USSR"
Zam band plays cover of Beatles song "Back In The USSR". Note to purists: We know some lyrics were slightly changed.
Back In The USSR
This performance by Steve Nelson (piano, vocals) and Paul Fuhs (vocals) with accompaniment by members of the Soviet Border Guard Military Band and their conductor was recorded in Vladivostok, Russia in May 1990 at the studio of the local state television station. I was one of a small group of Alaskans led by joann Grady, Director of the Foundation for Social Innovation (FSI) on a two week trip across the Russian Far East to facilitate diplomatic relations with local political and business leaders. We were the first Americans to visit Vladivostok since Gerald Ford and Leonid Brezhnev conducted peace talks there in 1974. Our group had just finished recording a television interview about our activities in the region and were being given a tour of the station. We wandered into a huge sound stage that was being prepared to record a concert program by the military band. When the Russian TV producer discovered Paul and I were musicians, a joyous musical collaboration spontaneously erupted. Turns out, these young soldiers were Beatles fans! It was a quite an experience to play Back in the USSR on a twelve foot red grand piano, jamming with Russian soldiers during the collapse of the Soviet Union. I felt excited and humbled to participate in an event that symbolized the change in relations between our two countries. I will never forget it. Fortunately this unplanned episode of international cooperation occurred in a TV studio, so cameras were rolling to capture the event for ...

The Beatles - Glass Onion
The Beatles - Glass Onion (Copyright 1968 EMI Records) "Glass Onion" is a song by The Beatles from The Beatles primarily written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/mccartney. This is the first track on the White Album to feature Ringo Starr on drums. Starr briefly left the group during recording sessions for the album and was replaced on drums by Paul mccartney on both "Back in the USSR" and "Dear Prudence". The song refers to several earlier Beatles' songs, including "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am the Walrus", "Lady Madonna", "The Fool on the Hill", and "Fixing a Hole". There are also subtle, passing references to "There's A Place", "I'm Looking Through You", and "Within You Without You". The song also refers to the "cast iron shore", a coastal area of Dingle, Liverpool, known to scousers as "The Cazzy". The song's "The Walrus was Paul" lyric is both a reference to "I Am the Walrus" and Lennon saying "something nice to Paul" in response to changes in their relationship at that time. Later, the line was interpreted as a "clue" in the "Paul is dead" urban legend that alleged mccartney died in 1966 during the recording of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike. Coincidentally, the line is preceded with "Well, here's another clue for you all". In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song! Enjoy :) Album: White Album ...
