The following represents my own representation of this beautiful song. Use however you please! Please email me with any comments or corrections....

I found the original key (on the original album) to be somewhere between Fm and F#m. The Beatles, I think, rather enjoyed tuning up or down to suit their vocal characteristics. I also found it in the key of Fm (sounded like they were actually rehearsing this song, and probably were) from a downloaded Mp3 from one of the share sites. However, the F#m key is much more simple for the guitar, so here is what I have. The lyrics are straight from the record. Any chord mistakes are of my own doing. Enjoy!

Key = F#m

   F#m	 F+    A     B       B	 E     Bm
		        (Fret 11)
E|--2--|--1--|--0--|--2--|----9----|--0--|--2--|
B|--2--|--2--|--2--|--4--|----10---|--0--|--3--|
G|--2--|--2--|--2--|--4--|----9----|--1--|--4--|
D|--4--|--3--|--2--|--4--|----11---|--2--|--4--|
A|--4--|--0--|--0--|--4--|----x----|--2--|--2--|
E|--2--|--x--|--0--|--2--|----x----|--0--|--2--|

If you listen carefully you can hear the individual chord notes plucked during the verse, along with the B chord notes played on the 11th fret. However, B played on the 2nd fret does just as well.
