Songs to Learn
Elenor Rigby
This is a truly beautiful song exhibiting both simplicity & complexity in its final form. See the links at
the bottom of the page to see how complex it can get.
I am now trying to play this song on the guitar, and possibly on the harmonica as well.
I will follow this process:
- Learn the Lyrics of the Song First
- Learn to Sing the Song with the correct intonation & rhythm
- Learn the Chords required, practicing any complex changes
- Play the whole song on the guitar along with the orginal
- Play and sing together
- Finally make it my own
Chords: C C/E Em Em7 Em6
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
Eleanor Rigby, In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words
Of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
In the night when there's nobody there
What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Spanish - Translation
Ah, toda esa gente sola.
Doña Eleonora se lleva el arroz de la iglesia
después de una boda, vive en un sueño.
Espera en su casa con una cara
que guarda junto a la pared,
¿y eso para qué?
Toda la gente sola
¿de dónde es que vendrán?
Toda la gente sola
¿a dónde es que irán?
El Padre McKenzie está escribiendo
un sermón que nadie va escuchar,
nadie lo hará.
Esta remendando sus calcetines de noche
no hay nadie ahí, pobre infeliz.
Toda la gente sola
¿de dónde es que vendrán?
Toda la gente sola
¿a dónde es que irán?
Doña Eleonara murió en la iglesia
y fue sepultada ayer y nadie fue.
El Padre McKenzie sacude sus manos
mientras abandona el panteón.
Nadie se salvó.
Toda la gente sola
¿de dónde es que vendrán?
Toda la gente sola
¿a dónde es que irán?
