Song Tabs

 The original version by Paul McCartney & Wings is known for its relaxed, acoustic feel with gentle strumming and clear chord changes. This arrangement captures that vibe, blending folk and pop elements.

Chords and Transitions

The song uses common open chords:
G, C, D, Am, Em, Am7, Bm, B7, F, F6, A7, D7, Ab, Bbm.
Beginners should practice transitioning between these, especially moving between Em, Am, and G, which appear frequently.

Watch out for quick transitions in the chorus:
G → Bm → Em → Am7 → G → D → G/D
Practice these slowly at first; use anchor fingers to pivot between shapes.

The bridge and transition sections introduce less common chords (F6, D7, Ab, Bbm).
If F6 is new, try playing it as 1-0-2-0-1-0 (low to high strings). For Ab and Bbm, barre chords are needed—barre the 4th fret for Ab and 1st fret for Bbm.

Strumming Pattern

A basic down-down-up-up-down-up pattern works well throughout.
Keep your wrist loose; emphasize the first down strum for each chord change.

For the verses, play softly and evenly.
Choruses can be slightly louder for dynamics.

Techniques and Tips

• Keep chord transitions smooth by minimizing finger movement.
• Practice barre chords (Ab, Bbm) separately if needed.
• Count in 4/4 time; tap your foot to stay steady.
• Sing along to help memorize changes and phrasing.

Take it slow, and speed up as you gain confidence. Focus on clean chord sounds and steady rhythm for an authentic feel.
