Artist: Paul McCartney
Song: Here Today
Album: Back In The World live 2002

This is the version played on the cd of Paul McCartneys world tour of 2002. This song 
be fingerpicked except in parts B and C. The chords with the ( ) can be excluded, it is 
a suggestion to get the right tune of the song.
I made this version combining the good stuff from to other versions, as neither of them 
correctly to me, and some of it was plain wrong. Plus I added a little of my own.
