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# A    E   G     E  G     F  E
A  bout the space be tween us all
E   F   G  A#  A#  A    E   G
And the people who hide themselves
E G    F E      E  F G   E
Behind a wall   of illusion
E F   A       G   A#
Never glimpse the truth
E    F    G   A#  C#
Then it's far too late
A    C#   A#   E   G F E
When they pass a  way

   When they pass a way

E  F    G  A#
We were talking
A# A    E   G    E  G   F     E
A  bout the love we all could share
E    F  G    A#
When we find it
A# A   E   G    E  G    F  E
To try our best to hold it there
E    F   G     E    F   G A#
With our love, with our love
E  F     G    A#  C#
We could save the world
G# A    B D   D#
If they only  knew

F#  G# A G A   F#   G#  F#  A  G   G#
Try to realize it's all within yourself
E  G        E   G    F   E 
No one else can make you change
F#  G# A   G      A   F# G#F# A    G# 
And to see you're really only very small
E   G    E     G  E  F   E           G   E         
And life flows on within you and without you

E  F    G  A#
We were talking
A# A  E   G    E      G    F  E
About the love that's gone so cold
E   F   G  A#  A#  A    E   G
And the people who gain the world
E   G    F     E
And lose their soul
E    F     G  E       F     A#
They don't know, they can't see
E   F   G   A# C#      G# A B D D#
Are you one of them?

F#   G#     A    G A    F#   G#  
When you've seen beyond yourself
F#   A   G   G#
Then you may find
E     G  E    G  F       E
Peace of mind is waiting there
F#  G#  A    G    A   
And the time will come
F#   G#  F#        A   G# 
When you see we're all one
E   G    E     G  E  F   E           G   E         
And life flows on within you and without you
