All Things Must Pass (1970)
(George Harrison)
From: "All Things Must Pass"
Here is my reading of this beautiful song for acoustic guitar. There are
a lot of acoustics on Harrison's studio recording and they may play
different voicings with or without capo. Playing alone, I like using
the shapes and settings below.
Version 1: standard tuning, no capo
Version 2: drop-D, capo 2nd fret to match the tuning of the original

But it's not always going to be this grey

Now the darkness only stays at nighttime,
E B7sus4/E E A

It's not always going to be this grey
