Separated At Birth? - Something For No One


It's amazing the little things you discover when you're playing through Beatles songs. Like the fact that great musical ideas from one song reoccur in another completely different song. Here's just one example...


Just in case you missed them here are the chords

Something (bridge)   A C#m/G#  F#m  F#m/E  D  G  A
For No One (verse)  A  A/G#       F#m  F#m/E  D  G  A

Notes in C#m/G# = G#  G#  C#   E
Notes in A/G#   =  G#  A     C#  E

  4. Help uses the same chord progression as well. Except the F#m/E is dropped.

    1. A Day in Life also uses a variation of this progression but the last three chords have been switched around.
