Song: Yesterday
Artist: The Beatles

Tabbed by DJ 20th June 2019

The crucial thing to achieve the way Paul McCartney played
this is in the dropped tuning...
DROPPED TUNING: D-G-C-F-A-d
De-tune all strings a whole tone down below standard tuning.
Using a chromatic tuner makes this a bit easier
NOTE: The song is played in G on guitar, but, with the full
tone dropped tuning, the song will sound in the key of F.
(For keyboard and bass players etc, set the transpose
function to -2 (minus 2) to view the chords in the key of F.)
Please IGNORE ANY CHORD BOXES the website might
automatically suggest and use the typed shapes shown below:
= 320033 = xx0212 = x22002
= 244222 () = 2xxxxx = x22000
= x21202 = 022030 = x02212
= xx2000 = x02020 = xx0212
= xx0000 = 242222 * = x02023
= 332010 * = x32013
N.C. = No chords ^ = Emphasise the beats
Emphasise the bass note of each chord, particularly the
progressions in Verses 3 and 5. In the live video though he
plays the C with a bottom G but doesn't appear to emphasise
that particular note, personally I would still emphasise the
C on the 5th string.
