Thread Name: The Beatles--40 years!!
Subject: RE: Folklore: The Beatles--40 years!!
They wont go away will they? I saw this guy on the Spanish Steps in Rome around '69. He had an accoustic and song one Beatles song after another. I was knocked out. I could never work out the chords so I bought one of this big books with every Beatles song in it. 30+ years on I can still only sing "With a little help from my friends", no pun intened.

I can almost do "Things we've said today" and I might have a go at "In my life" a capela.

Tricky tunes and strange collections of chords. Even as a fan since '62 I have to say most of the words aren't up to much.

But, great pop songs they really are and great pop songs are strange little things. eg Wild thing by the Troggs? Alright now by Free?
