                  Heart of the Country – Paul McCartney
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Paul & Linda McCartney
From: "Ram" (1971)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

I'm not 100% sure, but from what I hear on the recording, the acoustics
might be tuned down two steps to D-G-C-F-A-d, playing these chords:
| C | Em | Am | % | C | E7 | Am | % | (verse)
| A7 | % | D9 | % | A7 | % |  D9 | % | (chorus)
The shapes are easy and I think, they can actually be heard.

Anyway, I put forward here a version in regular tuning for everybody who
does not want to take the trouble of tuning down all the strings. If you
do, you'd have to transpose this tab up 2 steps to get the chords that 
are played on the original.

[Interlude]

The instrumental interlude is not easy to pin down. Here is what I came
up with. With the D-G-C-F-A-d tuning, the tab below has to move up 2 frets.
Still I'm not completely sure about it. Suggestions and comments are highly
welcome. Thank you!
