Notes.
1. Sadly, this song was written about Jane Asher, McCartney's girlfriend for five
years,"You don't look different, but you have changed," the lyrics declare,
reflecting his dissatisfaction with their relationship.
2. This transcription adds some small but rich tonal corrections to the chords and
omissions from it's predecessors. The repeating G - C riffs are actually G -
Cadd9. These are more easily fingered chords and are consistent with John
Lennon's 5 string banjo-chord inspired style. Cf. http://voices.yahoo.com/
