Across The Universe
 (Lennon/McCartney)
 Let It Be (1970)
 
 
 
  
     
  This is Across the universe as I believe John originally played it.
 The song was sped up for inclusion on the World Wildlife Fund album
 (as heard on Past Masters volume II), and then slowed down again for
 the Let It Be album.  When Phil Spector (producer of Let It Be) slowed
 the song down, he actually brought the song down a half step; from D
 to roughly C#.  You can play along with the album by playing in C#,
 tuning your guitar down a half step and playing in D, or using a capo
 on the first fret and playing in C. Here it is in original form in D...

      D                 Bm               F#m
    Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
     Em7                                    A                 A7
    They slither while they pass they slip away across the Universe.
      D               Bm               F#m
    Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
     Em7              Gm
    Possessing and caressing me.
 
 
     D             A7
    Jai Guru Deva Om
     A7			  
    Nothing's gonna change my world

      D         Bm	           F#m	                         Em7
    Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
                                A          A7
    They call me on and on across the Universe.
      D               Bm	      F#m
    Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
          Em7			             A                A7
    They tumble blindly as they make their way across the Universe.

     Em7	    Gm
    Inciting and inviting me.
     D	           Bm		    F#m			           Em7
    Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns
                              A          A7
    And calls me on and on across the Universe.
