Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E
The story goes that this song was originally a joke when Paul wanted to sound jazzy, using the F7#9 chord that an old friend taught them. Later John suggested that Paul make a real song out of it. This is a challenging transcription and I have made every effort to reflect the timing of the chords with the words. Constructive criticism is most welcome. Enjoy!

* Additional Notes: Sometimes in the first part of the chorus, you can use the chord sequence Ebdim7 - F#dim7 - Adim7 - Ebdim7, changing chords on each beat before moving to the G...kind of like this:
CMichelle, F7#9ma belle Bb6These are words that Ebdim7go F#dim7to - Adim7ge - Ebdim7ther Gwell Ebdim7My MiGchelle
Note that you are using the sliding diminished form where you move the chord shape three frets up to yield inversions of the same chord. Transcribed by: BigDaddy
