Somebody To Love by Jefferson Airplane
Somebody To Love
Capo:no capo
Tuning: Standard
Most of the solo is in F# minor pentatonic.
There are plenty of little breaks throughout the song where Jorma solos; I've tabbed
them all as well as the long coda solo at the end.
Use high treble and lots of reverb and chorus to get that airy sound.
Notes:
pb = Pre-bend to note indicated, hit it, and release back to normal position while note rings.
b = Bend to note indicated / slight bend if no value
p = pull off
r = release
x = mute note right after hitting
w = drop pitch with whammy bar
44 = tremolo

When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Love, love
When the garden flowers, baby are dead, yes and
Your mind, your mind is so full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby
I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Tears are running down
They're all running down your breast
And your friends, baby
They treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
