Within You Without You (for acoustic guitar)
The Beatles (George Harrison)
* These are notes from the guitar fingerboard (fretboard), not chords:
translations are at the end. Because George Harrison used an Indian sitar,
exactness using an acoustic is very difficult. Moving a capo around the neck may
help. Also, using a slide may better simulate the sitar. Note that all notes are on the D string.

We were talking
A#AEGEGFE
A bout the space be tween us all
EFGA#A#AEG
And the people who hide themselves
EGFEEFGE
Behind a wall of illusion
EFAGA#
Never glimpse the truth
EFGA#C#
Then it's far too late

When they pass a way
EFGA#
We were talking
A#AEGEGFE
A bout the love we all could share
EFGA#
When we find it
A#AEGEGFE
To try our best to hold it there
EFGEFGA#
With our love, with our love
EFGA#C#
We could save the world
G#ABDD#
If they only knew
F#G#AGAF#G#F#AGG#
Try to realize it's all within yourself
EGEGFE
No one else can make you change
F#G#AGAF#G#F#AG#
And to see you're really only very small
EGEGEFEGE
And life flows on within you and without you
break
EFGA#
We were talking
A#AEGEGFE
About the love that's gone so cold
EFGA#A#AEG
And the people who gain the world
EGFE
And lose their soul
EFGEFA#
They don't know, they can't see
EFGA#C#D#
Are you one of them?
F#G#AGAF#G#
When you've seen beyond yourself
F#AGG#
Then you may find
EGEGFE
Peace of mind is waiting there
F#G#AGA
And the time will come
F#G#F#AG#
When you see we're all one
EGEGEFEGE
And life flows on within you and without you
