help with Beatles song pleeeze

[mrobins@equilease.com]

If i fell in love with you. beatiful tune!
ok so i'm starting with an Eflat minor
like so ..

Eflat Min. / D / Dflat / Amin/ Eflat min/ D/ Emin/ A7

the first part "if i fell in love with you would you promise to be true and help me under...."

my question ... is it a regular D chord after the Eflat min
or somethin' slightly different , i thought it was right but somethin's buggin me bout it.

any other advise for this song would also be appriciated.
other than leave the singin' to a real singer.

thanks
mr

Here are the intro chords, and two ways to play them:

Here's how John played it:

Ebm-----D-----Db----Bbm

2--------2-----4------6
4--------3-----6------6
3--------2-----6------6
4--------0-----6------8
x--------x-----4------8
x--------x-----x------6


Here's how I play it (keeping the coolest bit of John's part):

Ebm-----D-----Db----Bbm

2--------2-----1------1
4--------3-----2------2
3--------2-----1------3
4--------4-----3------3
x--------x-----x------1
x--------x-----x------x

He just does the open-position Em and A chords.

thanks Lyle ( i meant Bflat min not Amin)

i was playin the eflat Min up at the sixth fret
and the D 5th fret i will give it a play when i get home
(no guitar in the office , no computer at home)
i like the idea of holding those bass notes the Fsharp/Gflat over the Eflat min and the D .

dont want to be a pest but any ideas on the riff after
"...very start that you love me more than HER?
right there do i hear some kind of Gmin type thing going on?

anyway
thanks again
appreciated.
mr
ps i'm 40 years old and i still get blown away by The Beatles sometimes its like i'm hearing stuff for the first time though ive heard them all my life , the harmonies on this one are like WOW!

[Lyle Caldwell]

First time:

--A--------A7---------D
...love me more than her...


Gm---A--------D
1--2--3--4 if I trust

For the Gm to A change used the barred 3rd fret Gm but the open position A.


Second time:


--------A--------A7---------D7
...don't hurt my pride like her...


(D7)-------------------------G
...cause I couldn't stand the pain...

-------Gm-----------------------D
...and I would be sad if our new love...

----------A7
...was in vain...


After the open position D7 go to the barred 3rd fret G so you have an easy transition to the Gm.

[Lyle Caldwell]

Oh, and George's riff for the Gm to A change:

1 and 2 and 3

6-------6---5
8-------8---x
x-------x---x
x-------x---x
x-------x---x
x-------x---x
