Do you mean what tones is he singing i.e. what notes?

Or do you mean tone in the sense of the character of the sound of his voice e.g. nasal, shouty, operatic, whispery, head voice et ecetera?

 

I'd suggest you just LISTEN. One assumes three of you are singing and each will take a part, so just listen, listen, listen! You're unlikely to find a chart for what he is singing. Sit down at the piano and sort out each part from the chords. Listen, listen, listen to the original.

My names Tom and my band Jolanga have been struggling this song for a while now. Especially John's low nasally part. Anyway we managed to find help online and this is our attempt. We have a gig at the cavern coming up so hopefully its sounding alright. Any pointers will be greatfully appreciated.

Thanks x

I have a lot of practicing to do. I got sick last night, don't know if it was nervousness or food poisoning, so I have a lot of ground to cover in five hours (I only learned the song two days ago).  a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

(I can, but very poorly haha)

The song is in the key of D capo-ed at the second fret. Hope this helps.

I can hardly hear him, but I want to sing his part. I was going to play Twist and Shout and sing backup, but because of something that happened yesterday, I want to play this song instead. Any help is appreciated!
