The Inner Light - The Beatles Tabbed by Adam Bishop Tuning - Eb Bb Eb Eb Eb Eb There is no guitar in this song so I just made up that tuning. All you need are the top three strings anyway. The actual instruments in this song, according to the book Revolution in the Head by Ian MacDonald, are a harmonium, a flute, a shehnai, a tabla, a pakhavaj, and a sarod. I looked these up on the Internet, and it looks like the sarod is used for the parts I've tabbed out, with the harmonium mixing in with it to get the constant Eb notes. The tabla and pakhavaj are percussion instruments, and the shehnai and flute are of course the wind instruments you hear.
