                 She Said She Said   -   The Beatles
              ---------------------------------------------

                           From the album 'Revolver'
                           tabbed by Howard Wright

h = hammer on
p = pull off
b = bend
r = release bend

Intro riff :
------------

E-------------------------
B------2h3--2h3--2h3-5----
G--2h4-----------------2--
D-------------------------
A-------------------------
E-----------------

What I have for the chords is :

 A         G    D                    A               G     D
She said           I know what it's like  to  be  dead        I know what it ...

Basically it's these three chords for nearly the whole song, apart from :

              Em        A7              D           A7             D
When I was a boy          e'thing was right           e'thing was right

And that's it.

As for the instruments : one guitar plays the chords, with a cleanish sound

The second electric plays lead parts which sometimes echo the tune, but this
guitar also plays the riff that comes after ' making me feel like I've never
been born'  :

E---------------------------------
B------------------------------
G---4b6r4-2--4--0-----0---2---------
D-------------------2---2--------
A-------------------------------
E-------------------------------

So , with these two guitars you have bass - fairly simple stuff here, a lot of
root notes except for the 'when I was a boy' bit, where the bass plays on the
1st 3rd and 5th of the chords.

Add drums, and harmony vocals (nearly all singing in 3rds) and you've got it.

I just recorded a cover of this on 8-track, and stuck pretty much to the 
original sound. I double tracked that riff to give it more edge, and added a few
more vocals, but it sounded very good.

As a point of interest, check out the cymbals on the original.

On the bit with the guitar riff (between verses) there seem to be a lot of loud
cymbals - a lot louder than the bulk of the song.

Maybe they overdubbed extra cymbals here ?

It certainly gives it a powerful sound, and on the fade out too there's a lot
of cymbals.

Great song !

She Said She Said- The Beatles
While dropping acid with George Harrison and John Lennon in Los Angeles, Harrison blurted out that he thought he was going to die. "I think I'm going to die man," he said; but Peter Fonda reassured him. "I know what it's like to be dead..." Hence the term: "I know what it's like to be dead, I know what it is to be sad."
