Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Lennon/McCartney Released in 1970. Now on: - "Past Masters", "1" and other Greatest Hits compilations (single version, 3:50) - “Let it Be” (album version, 4:03) - alternate versions on "Anthology 3" and "Let it Be ... Naked" Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard I added tabs for verse, chorus and the two bar link which features a Bb (the minor 7th of the C chord) in the bass. I represented this chord as a plain C7 here. The second chord in the chorus is C/G, which can’t be played directly on the ukulele because it lacks an extra low string for the bass note. I suggest using a truncated C shape to reflect the descending movement from the original progression, or using a G6 as a substitute to include the notes sung by the vocal harmonies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* The piano plays C/G. To include the vocal harmonies G6 (0-2-0-2) might be a good optional chord too.
