THE BEATLES - P.S. I LOVE YOU (McCartney/Lennon) From PLEASE
PLEASE ME album. Released on March, 22nd 1963.

Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
Andy White sat in on drums on this number, as in LOVE ME DO,
Ringo just playing maracas. It sounds like a latin ballad,
halfway between a bolero and a cha cha cha (listen to White's
rim shots acompaniment - some people said it was woodblocks -
and also its typical tempo and ending). This is not a pastiche
cha, however. Paul used on it an original device extending the
refrain with a Bb chord (bVI) half a step up A dominant chord
(V) and then resolving to tonic through C (bVII) (bVI bVII I).
Both things seem very interesting at this stage of the Beatles
career:
I iim I
D Em D
Treasure these few words 'til we're together, keep
V vim V
A Bm A
all my love forever, P.S., I love
bVI bVI bVII I
Bb Bb C D
You. you you you.
Usually the dominant (V) resolves to the tonic (I).
(For those who find this a little messy, maybe the examples
at the bottom will help).
As I write this letter,
Send my love to you
Remember that I'll always
Be in love with you.
Treasure these few words 'til we're together,
Keep all my love forever,
P.S., I love you.
You, you, you.
I'll be coming home again to you, love,
And 'til the day I do, love,
P.S., I love you.
You, you, you.
As I write this letter,
Send my love to you
Remember that I'll always
Be in love with you.
Treasure these few words 'til we're together,
Keep all my love forever,
P.S., I love you.
You, you, you.
As I write this letter, (Oh oh oh)
Send my love to you, (You know I want you to)
Remember that I'll always, (Yeah)
Be in love with you.
I'll be coming home again to you, love,
And 'til the day I do, love,
P.S., I love you.
You, you, you.
You, you, you.
I love you.
George plays the same chords than John an octave up.
