(c)1968 Words & Music George Harrison Track 6 on album "Past Masters Vol. 2" Arr. stagwolf ~~~~~~~~~ Without going out of my door I can know all things on earth Without looking out of my window I can know the ways of heaven. The farther one travels the less one knows the less one really knows.. Without going out of your door you can know all things on earth Without looking out of your window you can know the ways of heaven. The farther one travels the less one knows the less one really knows. Arrive without travelling see all without looking Do all without doing love all without mourning. ~~~ Guitar tuned down half step Played in Dropped D tuning Capoed 2nd fret, sounds in key of D sharp ~~~ Following the Beatles’ August 1967 retreat with the Maharishi in Bangor, Wales, Lennon and Harrison appeared twice on The Frost Programme in Britain to talk about Transcendental Meditation. On the second show, they were joined by Sanskrit scholar Juan Mascaro, who sent Harrison a copy of his book Lamps of Fire. Mascaro highlighted a passage that said knowledge begins by understanding oneself, and suggested that Harrison set the text to music. Harrison took his advice and began composing “The Inner Light.” The music developed from a series of Indian ragas he wrote while scoring music for the 1968 film Wonderwall, and was recorded with musicians in Bombay, India. The song was finished at Abbey Road on February 8, 1968, with vocals from Lennon and McCartney.
