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!

                               "Here Today"
 
                             by Paul McCartney
 
Em/C#             F7/C
   And if I say I really knew you well
 
     G                    G  Em
What would your answer be.
 
 
If you were here today.
 
Eb   F*   Cm   G    D7   G
Ooh- ooh- ooh- here to - day.
 
 
Em/C#                F7/C#
   Well knowing you,
 
                                  G                    G  Em
You'd probably laugh and say that we were worlds apart.
 
 
If you were here today.
 
Eb   F*   Cm   G    D7   G
Ooh- ooh- ooh- here to - day.
 
 
C
   But as for me,
 
F                          C
   I still remember how it was before.
 
F                            C*    Am Em
   And I am holding back the tears no more.
 
C*   Am   Em     FM7       D7
Ooh- ooh- ooh- I love you, ooh-
 
 
G
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,
 
              Cdim                      Em
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.
 
 
Em/C#             F7/C
   And if I say I really loved you
 
        G                   G  Em
And was glad you came along.
 
 
If you were here today.
 
Eb   F*   Cm                 G     D7 G
Ooh- ooh- ooh-  For you were in my    song.
 
Eb   F*   Cm    G    D7   G
Ooh- ooh- ooh-  Here to - day.
