Here’s my interpretation of Paul McCartney’s, «Here Today.» If
you spot any errors please let me know. Although I have only put
in the chord names, this song sounds great if it’s fingerpicked.
The pickup note is the C on the 5th string (3rd fret) and it
quickly slides up to the C# to start the Em/C# chord. Enjoy!

What about the time we met,
Cdim Em
WELL I SUPPOSE THAT YOU COULD SAY THAT WE WERE PLAYING HARD TO GET.
Didn’t understand a thing.
Am D7 Em
But we could always sing.
What about the night we cried,

Because there wasn’t any reason left to keep it all inside.
Never understood a word.
Am D7 Em
But you were always there with a smile.

And was glad you came along.
If you were here today.
