The Story Behind the Tab:
A close friend of mine, who attended the Paul McCartney Tour 2005 in Orlando some time
ago, was yielding his report on the going-ons of the night. His enthusiasm captured my
interest, and so, I began to search for some of McCartney�s new material. Before my
quest was complete, I happen chanced upon nearly all of his new album, Chaos and Creation
in the Backyard. While I was searching for the new material, I discovered this particular
song, "Too Much Rain." I was able to transcribe the unknown fairly quickly and easily,
and so, as my first official tab, I would like to give it to all of you who would wish
to see it!
Notes:
The basic chord progression listed below is identical to that which McCartney plays on
his album, but the chords� configuration is subject to translation, as is the strum. If
you would like to experiment with different variations of chords, an excellent dictionary
can be found at http://www.chordfind.com. The lyrics were adapted from the booklet within
the CD case. On this song, McCartney, the �one-man band," is credited with playing a
Bosendorfer Grand Piano, Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Martin D28 Acoustic Guitar,
Martin 12 String Guitar, Hofner Bass Guitar, Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar, Schmidt
Autoharp, Ludwig Drums, Maracas, and Vocals. On a separate note: there are several other
artists who have songs entitled �Too Much Rain.� Carole King�s celebrated album �Music�
(1971) and ATB�s (German DJ Andr� Tanneberger) �Movin� Melodies� (1998) both feature a
song entitled �Too Much Rain.� I hope that this help out! Please, if you have any
questions or comments, don't hesitate to contact me. I sincerely hope that this helps
