    My Sweet Lord

    Words & Music:


    George Harrison

    Unfortunately for George, he subconsciously channelled The Chiffons' hit "He's So Fine"
    when he wrote this. It is still a terrific tune. This was also transcribed (including the
    opening slide guitar solo) in the February issue of Total Guitar.

    INTRO: F#m B [4x] | E C#m [2x] | E Fdim


    Slide guitar solo comes in at the E chord:
    E C#m E C#m

    My sweet Lord. Mmm, my Lord. Mmm, my Lord.

    E C#m E C#m
    I really want to see you; really want to be with you;
    E Fdim F#m B
    Really want to see you, Lord, but it takes so long, my Lord.
