# I listened a lot to what the Beatles did here. It's an eclectic
# arrangement, a little Jazz (bass), a little Beat (guitars). The bass
# goes up chromatically, suggesting something diminished as the second
# chord. The guitars however don't use a diminshed chord but play a
# regular C or C7 there. I don't think, though, that this dissonant C7/F
# should be reflected in a ukulele chord sheet, so my reading just
# features the plain C7. For completists, this is what actually happens
# in the Beatles' recording:
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#
# CHORDS no barre intermediate transposed -4 (key of C)
#
# g-C-E-A g-C-E-A g-C-E-A
# E6 1-1-0-2 4-4-4-4 C6 0-0-0-0
# C7 0-0-0-1 3-4-3-3 G#7 1-0-2-3
# B7 4-3-2-0 2-3-2-2 G7 0-2-1-2
# 4-6-5-6 (B7 in turnaround)
# E 1-4-0-2 4-4-4-7 C 0-0-0-3
# G#7 1-0-2-3 5-6-4-6 E7 1-2-0-2
# C#7 1-1-1-2 4-5-4-4 A7 0-1-0-0
# F#7 3-4-2-1 3-4-2-4 D7 2-0-2-0
# A 2-1-0-0 6-4-5-4 F 2-0-1-0
#
#
# Alternative for the turnaround (includes the lead vocal,
# not what the Beatles play, but sounds nice - kind of jazzy-flashy):
# not | F#7 B7 | E B7 |
# but | F#9 B13 | E B7 |
# 3-4-4-4 2-3-4-2
#
#
# For easier chord shapes and if the original key is not important,
# transpose -4 to C (shapes, see below).
