Video of live version played in F (Capo at 3rd):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FuZ0YvXEvU
The intro and ending in this live version are simpler than 
the album, Paul just plays a D and Dsus2 for the intro,
and doesn't play the coda but just ends on D on '...brown'.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please IGNORE ANY CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS the website
automatically imposes,they are often not the best option.
Just follow the numbered voicings listed below:

  = xx0230        = x02230       = 320003
   = x40232        = x02020     = x2x010

a - way,
             
And they never
