Sometimes the melody is part of the chord, and sometimes an extension of the chord. I did not indicate which notes should be sustained. To show the timing, I placed a "v" over each beat. I typically play the intro, two verses, the bridge, another verse, and the coda.

It's important to do this - you can't just play the thing in F using normal tuning - you need some bass notes which you can only get by tuning down a tone and playing as if in G. (I'll write all the chord names as if in standard tuning) Intro: ------- G(no 3rd) -----3-3-3---3-3-3------3-3-3---3-3-3---------------------------------------- -----3-3-3---3-3-3------3-3-3---3-3-3--------------------------------------- -----0-0-0---0-0-0------0-0-0---0-0-0---------------------------------------- -----0-0-0---0-0-0------0-0-0---0-0-0---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---3------------------3---------------------------------------------------- Verse 1: --------- G(no 3rd) F#7 B7 Em -----3-3-3---3-3-3-------2-2-2--------2-2-2------------0-0-0--------------- -----3-3-3---3-3-3-------2-2-2--------4-4-4------------0-0-0--------------- -----0-0-0---0-0-0-------3-3-3--------2-2-2------------0-0-0--------------- -----0-0-0---0-0-0-------2-2-2--------4-4-4---------2-------------------- -------------------------4-4-4----2------------------------------------------- ---3-------3----------2---------------------------------------------------- Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away Em/D C D7 G(no 3rd) ----0----0-----0-0-0---------2-2-2--------------3-3-3-------------------------- ----0----0-----1-1-1---------1-1-1--------------3-3-3-------------------------- ----0----0-----0-0-0---------2-2-2--------------0-0-0-------------------------- --2----0-------2-2-2-----0----------------------0-0-0-------------------------- -------------3----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------3-----------3----2---------------- now it looks as if they're here to stay oh Em7 A7 C G(no 3rd) -----0-0-0------0-0-0----0--3--3---------------------------------------------- -----3-3-3------2-2-2----1--3--3---------------------------------------------- -----0-0-0------0-0-0----0--0--0---------------------------------------------- -----2-2-2------2-2-2----2--0--0---------------------------------------------- -----2-2-2---0-----------3---------------------------------------------------- --0-------------------------3--3---------------------------------------------- I believe in yesterday Verse 2: --------- Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh yesterday came suddenly Middle 8: ---------- F#7sus4 B7 (Em) (C) Am D7 G(no 3rd) ---------------2-2-2----0-----0------------0-0-0-------2-2-2-----3-3-3---3-3-3- ----2-2-2------4-4-4----0-----1------------1-1-1-------1-1-1-----3-3-3---3-3-3- ----4-4-4------2-2-2----0-----0------------2-2-2-------2-2-2-----0-0-0---0-0-0- ----2-2-2------4-4-4----2--0--2------------2-2-2----0------------0-0-0---0-0-0- ----4-4-4---2-----------------3--2------0-------------------------------------- -2-------------------------------------------------------------3--------------- Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say ------------------2-2-2----0-------0--------------0-0-0-----2-2-2--------- -----2-2-2--------4-4-4----0-------1--------------1-1-1-----1-1-1--------- -----4-4-4--------2-2-2----0-------0--------------2-2-2-----2-2-2--------- -----2-2-2--------4-4-4----2---0---2--------------2-2-2--0---------------- -----4-4-4-----2-------------------3-----2-----0-------------------------- --2------------------------------------------------------------------3---- I said something wrong now I long for yes - ter - day Verse 3: --------- Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh I believe in yesterday Repeat Middle 8 Repeat Verse End with : Em7 A7 C G(no 3rd) -----0-0-0------0-0-0----0--3--3---------------------------------------------- -----3-3-3------2-2-2----1--3--3---------------------------------------------- -----0-0-0------0-0-0----0--0--0---------------------------------------------- -----2-2-2------2-2-2----2--0--0---------------------------------------------- -----2-2-2---0-----------3---------------------------------------------------- --0-------------------------3--3---------------------------------------------- mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm -mm m mmmmm Howard #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.
