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.
