Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Paul McCartney Released as a non-album single in 1979 Now a bonus track on disc 2 of the re-issue of "McCartney II" Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: soprano C / baritone G UG Shot of this tab: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/shot/maguri/838867875 Transcribed in friendly C. To match the original recording, transpose this chord sheet down a half step to B or tune down your uke a half step to f#-B-d#-g#. McCartney performed the song live in C, though. I sometimes wonder whether the studio recording was originally in C and then slowed down. When playing a baritone uke, use the soprano voicings with a capo at the 4th fret and they will sound in B.
