The Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever Guitar Tab Chord Cheat Sheet
Interesting track as it’s two takes welded together altering the pitch. Capo on the 1st fret gets you closer to the pitch. The Love Album version different in structure works great with capo on 2nd fret.
Credited to Lennon and McCartney but essentially it’s a John Lennon song

The Beatles Revolution Guitar Tab Cheat Sheet
The Beatles Revolution Guitar Tab Cheat Sheet
There’s two versions of Revolution the faster version which you find on the Blue album 1967 - 70 and Revolution 1 which is on the White Album.
The first is faster and possibly speeded up so the key falls between B and Bb. The White album version is slower and is played in A.
Playing the John Lennon guitar part in A is quite simple. The verse and chorus are based on an A D E chord progression.
The pre chorus in Bm E Bm G A F# E
In the notes I’ve included both versions of the intro as they differ slightly
The George Harrison guitar part I’ve not included plays the riff an octave higher. I have though included an interesting fill from the White Album version
