Yellow Submarine

The Beatles

Guitar tuned down ½ step in original recording.

Chords in parentheses are played during the 4^th beat of the previous chord's measure.

D (C) G

In the town where I was born

(Em) Am (C) D

Lived a man who sailed to sea

(G) D (C) G

And he told us of his life

(Em) Am (C) D

In the land of submarines

(G) D (C) G

So we sailed up to the sun

(Em) Am (C) D

Till we found the sea of green

(G) D (C) G

And we lived beneath the waves

(Em) Am (C) D

In our yellow submarine

Chorus:

G D

We all live in a yellow submarine

D G

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

G D

We all live in a yellow submarine

D G

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

D (C) G

And our friends are all on board

(Em) Am (C) D

Many more of them live next door

(G) D (C) G (Em) Am (C) D

And the band begins to play

Chorus

(G) D (C) G

As we live a life of ease

(Em) Am (C) D

Everyone of us has all we need

(G) D (C) G

Sky of blue and sea of green

(Em) Am (C) D

In our yellow submarine

Chorus x2

End on G
