I Will

I WILL
(Lennon/McCartney)
The Beatles
The White Album (1968)
This song is in F, but the gutar shapes used are in E. I

can't tell if a capo is used on the first fret, the guitars
are tuned up a step, or the tape has been altered. But we
can play along by capoing the first fret and playing in E.
I have also included a version in F for those with capophobia.
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
Who knows how long I've loved you?
E C#m7 G#m
You know I love you still.
E7 A B7 C#m7 E
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
A B7 E A B7 (with riff 1: see below)
If you want me to, I will.
E C#m7 Fm#7 B7
For if I ever saw you,
E C#m7 G#m
I didn't catch your name.
E7 A B7 C#m7 E
But it never really mattered;
A B7 E E7 (with riff 2)
I will always feel the same.
A G#m C#m (with riff 3)

Love you forever and forever,
F#m B7 E E7 (with riff 2)
Love you with all of my heart.
A G#m C#m
Love you whenever we're together, <--riff 4 played
F# B7 during these
Love you when we're apart. <--two lines
E C#m7 F#m7 B7
And when at last I find you,
E C#m7 G#m
Your song will fill the air.
E7 A B7 C#m7 A E
Sing it loud so I can hear you,
A B7 C#m7 A E
Make it easy to be near you,
A B7 C#m A E
For the things you do endear you to me,
F#m B7 C (with riff 5)
Oh you know I will.
E E7 (with riff 6)
I will!
A G#m C#m
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm, <--riff 7 played behind this section
F#m7 B7 E
Da da da da da da da.
