YESTERDAY by John Lennon/Paul McCartney
tablature by Jonathan Byrd
I have listed the basic chord progression above the tablature. 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.
Intro

Verse
FM7 Em7 A7 Dm Dm/C / v v v v v v v v v v v v

Yesterday - The Beatles
from the album `Help`
tabbed by Howard Wright [email protected]
You need to tune all strings down one tone for this - so when you play a G shape it actually comes out in the key of F. 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)
Verse
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
now it looks as if they`re here to stay oh
I believe in yesterday
Verse
Suddenly I`m not half the man I used to be There`s a shadow hanging over me Oh yesterday came suddenly
Middle 8:
Why she had to go I don`t know she wouldn`t say
I said something wrong now I long for yes - ter - day
Verse
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 :
mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm -mm m mmmmm
