All Things Must Pass - George Harrison
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: George Harrison
From: “All Things Must Pass” (1970)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard (alternative: Open E) / Drop D
Here is my reading of this beautiful song for acoustic guitar. There are
a lot of acoustics on Harrison's studio recording and they may play different
voicings or tunings, with or without capo. Playing alone, I like using the
shapes and settings below.
Version 1: Standard tuning no capo (alternative tab and voicings for Open E)
Version 2: drop-D, capo 2nd fret to match the tuning of the original

[Verse 1]
Sunrise doesn
't last all m
orning,
A cloudburst
doesn't last
all day
Seems my lov
e is up and ha
s left you wit
h no warning
But it's not
always going
to be this gre
y
[Chorus]
All things m
ust pass,
All things mu
|
st pass aw
| |
ay
[Verse 2]
Sunset doesn't
last all eve
ning,
A mind can
blow those clo
uds away
After all thi
s my love is u
p and must be
leaving
It's not alw
ays going to b
e this grey
[Chorus]
All things m
ust pass,
All things mu
st pass aw
ay
[Middle 8]
All things m
ust pass,
None of life
's strings can
last
So I must be o
n my way and
face another d
ay
[Verse 3]
Now the darkne
ss only stays
at nighttime,
In the morn
ing it will fa
de away
Daylight is g
#
ood at arrivin
g at the right
time
It's not alw
ays going to b
e this grey
[Chorus]
All things m
ust pass,
All things mu
st pass awa
y
All things m
ust pass,
