Tuning: Standard tuning Difficulty: intermediate Yesterday - The Beatles ---------------------------------- 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: ------- 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 ...
