This song is fun to play, especially if you have a Wah Pedal. It is played with a Capo on fret 2. The part that gets more intense in the solo should be played funk style, which means that you strum all the string muted except for the notes indicated.

It is a simple song to play with a band, but quite challenging to make interesting when played with a guitar only, as it is the same thing almost the whole song.
Below the Lead Sheet is the music sheet for the lead guitar for the whole song. There is delay, reverb and he uses a volume pedal to get the notes to come out ghostly sounding by starting with no volume or very little while plucking the note and increasing the volume when the notes resonate.

This song is simple on the surface, but it requires a lot of energy to keep the strumming going the whole song and there is a second guitar part that is hard to replicate. The chords are simple, but pay attention to the strumming and the DS on measure 14 that takes you back to measure 3.
The Solo is below the lead sheet. It’s in F# Minor Pentatonic scale position 1 and 2.
During the Verse and Chorus, there is second guitar that plays harmonics and high pitch chords. From my research, it is played with a Nashville Tuning which consist of changing the lower 4 strings of the guitar to a lighter gauge, in order to tune those strings one octave higher. I am not sure about that, as I don’t have a guitar to try this with, but if someone knows more about it, please give me a shout at patrice@paliatsky.com.

The time signature in this song is interesting as it is feels a bit like 6/8 in the chorus because of the half time feel, but in the verse it feels like 6/4. In the end, it doesn’t matter, it sounds good. Pretty simple song to play. The guitar is tuned in Drop D. It is the same riff in the intro and Verse, but in the latter it is palm muted. The Chorus is simply strummed.

This song is fast and uses a lot of Barre Chords. It is very short, but still has three verses, two and a half choruses and a bridge; it’s quite impressive.

In the recording, Paul McCartney played with his guitar in Standard D Tuning (D,G,C,F,A,D) , but in his performances with the Beatles, they played it in Standard E Tuning. This song is played in a fingerpicking style where your thumb plays the bass note of every chord and your fingers play the other strings, mainly the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings.
At the end of the song, Paul plays the D8, C#8 and C8 in a C chord shape and alternates with an open G string. It’s a little bit like in Blackbird.

During the verse, there are some variations of the E chord with an Esus4 (add6), but it is not essential to the song.
