Another song using I-IV-V-VIm to further help train your ears to better 'catch' those ubiquitous 4 chords!
It's in the key of "C" BUT if your or your singer's pipes can't reach those McCartney high notes just use another key! I've played it as low as the key of "G" for a sing-a-long session.
C=C-F-G-Am (I-IV-V-VIm)
G=G-C-D-Em

The verse (intro & solo, too) is:
I / V / VIm / IV /
I / V / IV  / I  /
 
The refrain is:
VIm / V / IV / I /
I   / V / IV / I /

The interlude/ending is:
IV / I / V IV I /

If you're a 'perfectionist' (like your's truly) and/or you hear a bit more on the first IV chord in the verse it's "IVmaj7 IV6" for those 2 beats. It's certainly a IV chord but with a note added (the maj7 then the 6th). Another way to look at the IVmaj7 is that the 'spice' note is left over from the VIm chord. Leaving it out won't hurt but having it there (if you're able) adds an extra touch like one adding spices to a dish. No, I don't (really) cook but I do appreciate spices.

A very creative use of just 3 sections with 4 chords! Hmmm, I wonder if the song will EVER become a hit or heaven forbid, a classic. We'll see.


Please spread the word about this blog and know that I am looking to recruit new students from throughout mid-Michigan. Beginners/intermediates are most welcome! More info link. Lansing, MI "Craigslist" online classifieds also has my listing. Hoping also to also catch some of the MSU students who can enjoy some day hour discounts! THANKS.
