Live And Let Die
Paul Mccartney
Text File
I'm posting two versions, one version with the raw untransposed chords that are
played on piano in the actual song,
and another version with a capo so that open chords can be played on guitar more easily,
but the first version sounds more accurate as it follows the voicing in the actual song.
!SCROLL DOWN FOR CAPO VERSION!
Version 1: No capo, Standard tuning
Key: F# Major , 4/4 timing (mostly)
Chords : EADGBe (These are all barre/power chords)
F# : 244322
Bbm : x13321
B : x24442
C# : x46664
Ddim : x5676x
Ab7 : 464544
C#5 : x466xx
Eb5 : x688xx
E5 : x799xx
Cdim : x3454x
F#sus4 : 244422
C#7 : x46464
F#5 : 244xxx
Here is what the chords look like when lined up in bars with the beats written at the top.
This is to help with the timing if you're not sure about it.
Keep playing the chord and count out the beats until the chord changes:
Intro Verse: (bpm=61, this is the piano part at the start)
|1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |
|F# Bbm |B C# Ddim |
|F# Bbm |B C# Ddim |
|F# Bbm |B Ab7 |
|C# |C#5 Eb5 E5 -rest- |
...Say live and let...
Part immediately after verse: (bpm=70, slightly faster, orchestra comes in)
Be careful of the timing!
|1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |
|F# B |Cdim F#sus4 |
|F# B |Cdim |
