NOTES:
Originally written by McCartney for Cilla Black in 1967 and first performed
by Macca and Cilla on her TV show on 21 November 1967.

Macca's demo for Cilla was in the key of D. Check out 1:34 of it on YouTube.
It has a nice bossa-nova-ish rhythm, but D is far too low a key for Cilla's
voice and it sounds a bit laboured... (She doo-doo-doos her way through the
second verse...) The single was released in March 1968 in the key of G.

But I like the bossa-nova version in D. (For one thing, G is uncomfortable
for me and I'd be doo-doo-dooing my way through the second verse, too...)

I've placed the fingering above the chords because some are jazz voicings
(and it always helps to know what to play when...) ;) 
If you can find a good bossa-nova groove, this song sounds cool!

You look tired love, let me turn down the light,
Come in out of the cold, rest your head on my shoulder
