YELLOW SUBMARINE Lennon and McCartney arr. by Noam Mohr (mohr@student.physics.upenn.edu) I made this version of Yellow Submarine from the way the piano version sounded in The Complete Beatles, I have no idea how similar it is to the original version. But it works for me! All the notes and chords that fall on the off beat should have a dotted rhythm, i.e. instead of two eighth notes play a dotted eighth note and a sixteenth note. If you've ever heard the song this rhythm should be obvious. Make sure you look for the ^ marks to show the beats, don't go by the spacing. I haven't been able to come up with a good rhythm for the chorus, so I encourage you to be creative rather than following my boring strum pattern.
