Lyrics

Let me take you down, ’cause I’m go ing to

(Dmaj7)Straw ber ry Fields for (A)ev er.

(E)Liv ing is (G#m)eas y with (E7)eyes closed,

mis you un der stand ing all you (Dmaj7)see.

It’s get ting (E7)hard to be some (A)one, but it all works (F#m)out;

it does n’t (E)mat ter much to (D)me.

Let me take you down, ’cause I’m go ing to

Straw ber ry Fields.

Noth ing is real,

(Dmaj7)Straw ber ry Fields for (A)ev er.

(E)No one I (G#m)think is in (E7)my tree,

I you mean, it must be high or (Dmaj7)low.

That is, you (E7)can’t, you know, tune (A)in, but it’s all works (F#m)right.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in A major at a dreamy 98 BPM, so nothing flies by too fast — but don't let that fool you into coasting, because you're navigating fifteen distinct chords, and the real challenge is moving between them smoothly. Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, which means you can anchor on A while your right hand shifts through shapes like Dmaj7, C#7, and C#dim — those chromatic moves will trip you up if you haven't isolated them slowly first. Start hands-separate, drilling just the right-hand chord transitions from F#m through E7 to Dmaj7 until the voicings feel automatic. When you put hands together, loop the verse at half tempo before pushing toward full speed. Watch the shift to C natural — it's a borrowed chord that catches people off guard. This is the song that'll make unusual chord colors feel like second nature in your playing.
