Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Jeff Lynne
Lift Me Up (1990)
(Jeff Lynne)
From: "Armchair Theatre"
It may be a little easier to play this in in G (even though the A
shapes have more bottom end - but you cannot have everything, can you?).
Just transpose this tab down 2 steps. To play along with the original, one
would then have to put on a capo 3rd fret.

capo: 1st fret
play: A
key: Bb
