Instead, the rhythm is played by Lennon at the piano. But I show what chords a solo acoustic guitar, playing rhythm, might play so that the song works for one instrument. The chords just above the lines of lyric are what you play. INTRO: [play: INTRO Figure] INTRO Figure Notes: Acoustic Grand Piano plays first two bars and repeats for remainder of intro.

Instead, I show chords that will work for a solo acoustic guitar. You have Macca's bass part, as it sounds quite impressive.
