NOTES:
------
**CAPO 1st FRET
(Everything is relative to the capo, meaning fret 3 is really the 4th fret on your guitar.)

**I'm pretty sure there's two guitars in this song, one just plays the chords and the other does this melody thing in the verses. With the melody thing, I think it's probably more than one note at once, but I've just done it as single notes, it is hard to hear.


Intro/Verse
-----------
the song fades in so you can't tell exactly where it starts, but i'm starting on the chord just before he sings the first line: "out of the window..."

MAIN GUITAR (chords)
--------------------
e|0--0--2
B|0--0--2
G|0--2--4
D|2--2--4
A|3--0--2
E|3--X--2

it repeats those three chords for the whole verse, whilst the 2nd guitar keeps repeating this:

2nd GUITAR (melody thing)
-------------------------
e|0-0-0---------------------------------2-2-2-3-3-3------
B|------3-3-3-0-0-0--3-3-3-1-1-1-0-0-0--------------3-3-3
G|
D|
A|
E|

(you end the verse just by hitting 332000 once, right after he sings "hand in hand")


Chorus (where Paul sings "blue eyes, red eyes")
-----------------------------------------------
there is only the main guitar in the chorus

e|X---X-X---X
B|3-1-0-X-1-0
G|0---0-2---0
D|2---0-2---2
A|3---2-0---2
E|X---3-X---0

in the chorus I strum/pluck everything just with my thumb, and it's kind of hard to tab it out exactly like that, but just listen to the song and you'll hear how subtle the guitar is in the chorus. what I've written is mainly what it does for the whole chorus, except there are a few minor variations, just different stuff on the B string. like sometimes it does this:

e|X---X-X---X
B|3-1-0-1-1-0
G|0---0-2---0
D|2---0-2---2
A|3---2-0---2
E|X---3-X---0

and on the very first lot of those chords in the chorus, it does this

e|X-X-X---X
B|0-0-X-1-0
G|0-0-2---0
D|2-0-2---2
A|3-2-0---2
E|X-3-X---0

the chorus changes one chord just before it's about to go back into the verse, like this:

e|X---X-X---X
B|3-1-0-1-0-X
G|0---0-2---0
D|2---0-2---2
A|3---2-0---3
E|X---3-X---X


Verse
-----
(the same as the first verse)


Chorus/Ending
-------------
(the same as the first chorus, the guitar just keeps playing that chorus for ages and eventually the song fades off)
