Chords

The Beatles (Paul) (Lennon/McCartney) This was one of those songs that the Beatles gave away. I think I like Paul's acoustic demo better. As a note, the demo recording by Paul McCartney, which can be found online, is tuned halfway in between standard and half step down tuning, so it is tricky to tune the guitar correctly to play along with the recording. Here are the non-standard chords used in this song. C x32013 Am7/G 302010 Fm/C x33111 [Verse 1]
C                          Em
