Nicely done. However, I think the third chord in the verse would sound better if a capo Fm7 (not F7) since I hear Paul singing a flat 3d in a capo Fm7 chord and not a D (F7 chord) yes?

Hey Edward, that is the chord I debated on the most. I’ve come to settle on that it’s actually a maj/min7. I based this arrangement off Paul's White House performance, there it looks clear to me that the middle finger is on the G string 2nd fret (major 3rd), but if you look at the lead players hands, you’ll see he’s also fretting the minor 3rd with his pinky on the 4th fret high E string. This is a pretty wild sounding chord, but fits well with the tune and I personally love the dissonance. To my ear, if you just play the min7 it sounds somewhat bland. You're right, the vocal melody is performing the minor 3 as well.

when I print why don't the chord names above the lyrics show up?

Not sure Jonathan, it's likely an issue with your printer I assume. I've had similar issues where I was low on color ink, or the cartridge was malfunctioning. I suggest printing in black and white and seeing if the same issue persist.

Hey Roger, attachments like tabs and chord sheets are always located at the bottom of each post. On mobile, they will appear in small orange font beside a tiny paper clip icon.
