Tuning: D G C F A D

Song: Yesterday Artist: The Beatles Composer: Paul McCartney (Credited to Lennon & McCartney) Album: Help Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com) 20th June 2019 To hear the track, copy and paste this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRTXUZDBBYo The crucial thing to achieve the way Paul McCartney played this is this dropped tuning... DROPPED TUNING: D-G-C-F-A-D De-tune all strings a whole tone down below standard tuning. Using a chromatic tuner makes this a bit easier NOTE: The song is played in G on guitar, but, with the full tone dropped tuning, the song will sound in the key of F. (For keyboard and bass players etc, set the transpose function to +2 to view the chords in the key of F.) Please IGNORE ANY CHORD BOXES the website might automatically suggest and use the typed shapes shown below: G = 320033 D7 = xx0212 Emadd9/B = x22002 F#m = 244222 G/F# = 2x0033 Em/B = x22000 B7 = x21202 Em7 = 022030 Am6 = x02212 Em = xx2000 A7 = x02020 D7 = xx0212 Em7/D = xx0000 F#m7 = 242222 G5 = xxx033 C = 332010 C * = x32013 A7 * = xx2023 N.C. = No chords ^ = Emphasise the beats Emphasise the bass note of each chord, particularly the progressions in Verses 3 and 5. In the live video though he plays the C with a bottom G but doesn't appear to emphasise that particular note, personally I would still emphasise the C on the 5th string.
