    Awesome job on this. Thank you for your hard work, best six bucks I’ve ever spent!

    Anyone put off by the capo change: just practice it. After about 2 weeks of playing it I can do it smoothly and on beat.

    Thanks again!

    Hi, in spite of your fine work, I do not believe that this is exactly the way Paul plays it.
    He doesn´t use or move the capo in this song, which is pretty impossible anyway.

    There is an easier way.

    Paul tunes down the guitar 1/2 step, E goes to Eb and so on.

    Then he plays the first verse and chorus like you have mapped out, BUT when he changes key he doesn´t move to capo (since he is not using one), he just plays the following chords for the solo:
    Fmaj7 | F7/C | Db7 Eb7 | Ab6 | Bb/F E° xx2323 | Fm/C Ab7 | Dbmaj7 | Dbmaj7 | Dbmaj7#9 | Abmaj7#9 | Bbm | A | Ab | [Am7] Architects…

    Then he changes back the key for the “Architects…” bit and then plays the “new key chords” for the last verse.

    [Fmaj7] So [F7/C] long, [Db7] Frank [Eb7] Lloyd [Ab6] Wright.
    [Bb/F] xx3331 All of the [E°] xx232x nights
    we´d [Fm/C] harmo-[Ab7]-nize till [Dbmaj7] dawn.
    [Dbmaj7#9] I never laughed so [Abmaj7#9] long,

    Ending with the chords: so [Bm7] 6x666x long. [Amaj7] 5x665x So long. [Abmaj7] 4x554x so long.

    And then he goes to major on the first chord of the coda:
    So [B7] 6xx676x long. [Amaj7] 5x665x So long. [Abmaj7] 4x554x so long…

    What do you think?

      You may be right. There’s no video footage of this song that I could find so we’re left with the notes. Mine was the best way I could find to have all the actual notes he plays (not just the static chord shapes) fall under the fingers. Without checking yours in detail, I’m sure it works and may indeed be what he’s doing.

        Lovely tab Jerry. Haven’t gotten to the capo changing yet. Sounds very daunting!! I only seriously started on it today and got through the first verse. The chords are so beautiful.
