Let It Down by George Harrison
-----------------------------------------------
GEORGE HARRISON – LET IT DOWN
From ALL THINGS MUST PASS, released on
November 27th, 1970.
-----------------------------------------------
Again, because of too much instrumentation the
staggering guitar part is barely audible on the
album. Fortunately, we can find the basic track
for this song on several bootlegs. Here’s the
complete take with some great riffs on the outro.
Most of the riffs from 4:38 onwards are played
using grace notes which cannot be written on this
kind of tab, but you'll be able to spot them.
Though you sit in another chair, I can feel you here
Looking like I don't care, but I do, I do
Hiding it all behind anything I see
Should someone be looking at me
While I occupy my mind, I can feel you here
Love to us is so well timed, and I do, I do
Wasting away these moments so heavenly
Should someone be looking at me
Let it down, let it all down
Let your hair hang all around me
Let it down, let it down
Let your love flow and astound me
While you look so sweetly and divine, I can feel you here
I see your eyes are busy kissing mine, and I do, I do
Wondering what it is they're expecting to see
Should someone be looking at me
Let it down, let it all down
Let your hair hang all around me
Let it down, let it down
Let your love flow and astound me
