Ranked as number 384 on Rolling Stone magazine’s of the 500 greatest songs of all time, “Ticket to Ride” was released by the Beatles in 1965 on their album entitled “Help”.
Many have come up with theories to exactly what the song’s meaning is. According to Don Short, Ticket to Ride is a phrase coined by John Lennon about the cards indicating a clean bill of health, handed out to Hamburg prostitutes in the 1960s. A different explanation attributes the song’s meaning to the experience of Lennon’s mother leaving the family when he was a child.
Another fun song for the campfire, even if you are beginner you shouldn’t have too many problems strumming this one out. Below the instructional video I have included a Ticket to Ride backing track and free song chord sheet. Good luck!

I plug it directly into my sound board which has some built in guitar effects. This Epiphone sounds very good, it is the Sheraton model.
