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.

Yesterday - The Beatles
----------------------------------
from the album 'Help'
tabbed by Howard Wright
H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk
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)
Intro:
