# Yesterday, Lennon/McCartney
# Transcribed from "Anthology 2" by Davor Raic (davor@wxs.nl)

# I was playing this song for more than 30 years just like all
# of us who wanted to make it sound right out of F major.
# The chords were correct but the song never sounded right.
# The explanation came from Paul in the introduction to the song
# on the album "Anthology 2" (number 7): the guitar is tuned one
# full tone lower and F should be played like G. Try it and you
# will realise that this sounds as it should. The tricky bit is picking
# the bass strings and strumming the upper three strings, but listen
# carefully and you will get around it. I am sure that this transcription
# can be improved but I liked my descovery so much that I left it as
# transcribed for the first time. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
