album. Released December 3rd 1965.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
I had already tabbed this song a couple of years ago, but the
format I used didn't make it justice, so here it is again with
a better look and a few corrections.
After I'M A LOSER and HELP this is John's 3rd self confession.
Although three Middle Eights seem a bit excessive, those vocal
harmonies, that simple and glowing Stratocaster solo, Ringo's
roll fills and Paul's playfull walking bass make it one of my
all time favourites.
He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn't kave a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
SOLO
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Middle eight
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Use a capo on the 2nd fret for rythm guitar
