Eleanor Rigby

Beatles

 

There's a great Beatles songbook for easy guitar with this song in it here.  I own it and love it.  The song's also featured in the solo fingerstyle songbook Fingerpicking Beatles.  One of the many rave reviews at Sheet Music Plus says, "There are lots of great arrangements in this book not to difficult to play and sound great, intermediate guitarist will be playing these pieces in no time, the arrangement of yesterday is so simple and sounds magic, michelle, when I'm 64, nowhere man, it's worth it for these alone."
