This Never Happened Before
By Paul McCartney

Tabbed by Sam Borchard


I wrote the chords out with measures to give a sense of timing, everything is in 4/4,
except for one measure with 6 beats which is marked.

Intro:

musings in G

| Am | E | Am | E |

|   Am    |   Abm7        C#m7   |   F#m7  |
I'm very sure this never happened to me before

|Am    E  |   C#m7      |    Am        |          E    |  E |
I met you and now I'm sure  this never happened before

|   Am    |   Abm7        C#m7   |   F#m7  |
Now I see this is the way it's supposed to be

|Am    E  |   C#m7   |  Am             |          E  |
I met you and now I see this is the way it should be

| Am         D9     |     G |
This is the way it should be for lovers

|Am7           D9   |   G  |
They shouldn't go it alone

|Am7         D9    |         G        E |  E(six beats)  |
It's not so good when you're on your own

|   Am     |  Abm7       C#m7    |   F#m7  |
So come to me now we can be what we want to be

|Am     E  |    C#m7   |  Am           |           E  |
I love you and now I see this is the way it should be

|Am          |            E
this is the way it should be

| Am         D9     |     G |
This is the way it should be for lovers

|Am7           D9   |   G  |
They shouldn't go it alone

|Am7         D9    |         G        E |  E(six beats)  |
It's not so good when you're on your own

|   Am    |   Abm7        C#m7   |   F#m7  |
I'm very sure this never happened to me before

|Am    E  |   C#m7      |    Am        |          E    |
I met you and now I'm sure  this never happened before

|Am         |        E   |
this never happened before   ...(repeat)...


The song ends strangely as well in the original, I'd suggest just slowing down to an arpeggiated E

Cheers,
