Tuning: E A D G B E

Chords in the original key of F. McCartney play it in G but uses a guitar that is tuned down one full step (D-G-C-F-A-d), that's why the song sounds in the key of F. Transposed +2 to G (the way McCartney plays it in the studio and live until today) the song is much easier to play. [Verse 1]
