Notes From John
BPM = 80, in 4/4 with bars of 6/4, and swung from Verse 1 on, as marked. The Intro is a four-bar rest, and Verse 1 under “I read the…” is hat eighths alone with one-bar repeats and counts. Verse 2 and Verse 3 bring in the kit with printed sticking, grace notes, triplets and crashes, and Verse 3 ends on a 6/4 bar. The Interlude under “Turn you on…” ends on a 6/4 bar with circle marks. The Bridge Intro opens on a circle mark and a breath mark, then hat eighths and a snare triplet. The Bridge under “Woke up, fell…” moves between 6/4 and 4/4 with crossed-circle marks over the hats, and the Bridge Interlude under “Ah…” adds circle marks, a grace note and sticking. Verse 4 returns with the sticking, grace notes and triplets, the last Interlude ends on a 6/4 bar, and the Outro is a one-bar whole rest.
For the player
Ringo Starr plays drums on the track. Stop at the breath mark in the Bridge Intro and rest until the hat eighths in the next bar. At BPM = 80 the job is the feel.
