Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

THE BEATLES - NOWHERE MAN (Lennon/McCartney) from RUBBER SOUL
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.

THE BEATLES - NOWHERE MAN - Vocal Harmony (Lennon/McCartney)
from RUBBER SOUL album. Released 3rd December
1965.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by:PJVillanueva




I have tabbed these three part harmony to please a kind request
and hoping that others would like too to wander a little with
those fine voices.
The song has an unusual structure. It has just two parts that we
can call A and B. (The coda is basically A with its second half
repeated three times).
A can be considered both as verses (with different words for each
strophe) and also as chorus (it's the most evident hook and the
placing at the beginning [a capella] and end of the song and the
three part harmony reinforce this function) and B is the bridge
(or middle eight) in which for the sake of accuracy I have tabbed
separately John's leading melody (voice in the middle) and the two
part harmony by Paul and George (high and low parts respectively).
It could also be fun playing it as a three part harmony too,
as shown lastly, though, of course, not so accurately.




A
He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.

A
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

B
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

A (Solo)

A
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

B
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand.

A
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

B

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
