THE BEATLES COMPLETE CHORD SONGBOOK

Milwaukee: Hal Leonard Corporation, 1999. Trade paperback. Very good. Inscribed by comedian Marc Maron to Eric Idle on the front endpaper: "Eric- your living room music parties are always great fun. This book is a great quick reference for chords and lyrics!! Happy Birthday Marc Maron". Idle appeared on Episode 962 (October 25, 2018) of Maron's popular WTF podcast.

"All 194 songs written and sung by The Beatles, specially arranged by Rikky Rooksby from the actual recordings, in the original keys. Each song includes chord symbols, guitar chord boxes and complete lyrics. Plus a playing guide and a full discography." Octavo. Original pictorial (truncated) paper wrappers. Some mild edgewear, including a light crease to the spine; otherwise very good.
