I Will by The Beatles - Guitar Chords

<< Back to The Beatles Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4
            The song is in the key of F. McCartney plays it in E in concert. 
So he probably played it in 1968 using E-shapes and used a capo 1st fret.

For the (original) E-shapes transpose +4 and use a capo 1st fret 
to match the Beatles' recording.

For chords in the original key transpose this chord sheet +5.
