                 (A)                Em7
Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
F#m7                   D            F#
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about
  Dmaj7              A
Strawberry Fields forever
 E     Abm       E7(II)  Bm7 C#7 F#m        F#m7             Dmaj7
Living is easy with eyes closed,      misunderstanding all you see
 D            E7           A                     F#m
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
 D           E            D   A
It doesn't matter much to me

CHORUS:
 (n.C.)                             Em7
Let me take you down, cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
 C#dim                  D            F#
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about
 Dmaj7                A   riff 1
Strawberry Fields forever

 E    Abm     E7(II)  Bm7 C#m7 F#m          F#m7            Dmaj7 
riff 2
No one I think is in my tree,        I mean it must be high or low
 D            E7                  A                F#m  E
That is, you can't you know tune in but it's all right
 D            E                D  A
That is, I think it's not too bad ...CHORUS

 E  Abm       E7(II)           Bm7 C#m7 F#m
Always know, sometimes think it's me
                F#m7                Dmaj7  riff 2
But you know I know when it's a dream
 D          E7             A                  F#m  E
I think a "no" will be a "yes", but it's all wrong
 D           E          D   A
That is, I think I disagree ...CHORUS (without riff 1)
 
F#m   Dmaj7              A
    Strawberry Fields forever
 Dmaj7        E      F#m
Strawberry Fields forever
