Note: After playing Bsus for 4 barr, then electric guitar do the tabs
      given below as the acoustic guitar do the same thing. For the
      acoustic guitar, it's just the same as "Yellow"'s intro. In fact
      it could be the same tuning. After the first row of electric
      guitar tab, then the drums bangs in with a lead tab. '|' in
      between the tabs is just to show you the end of 1 barr. 'p' means
      pull from 1 barr to the other barr. You can use hammering on the
      fret board also. Listen to the song for timing & for better
      understanding.

Note: At the end, the tabs is given upon the correct timing. I put up
      (x4) at 12 & 11 which means 4 times at that barr. Here Jonny
      use the wah-wah padels also. 'h' means hammer, 1 finger pressing
      a barr with one strike another finger press a higher barr to
      make a new sound. (Just for those who don't know.)

Verse 1:

Cmaj          Gmaj           Cmaj
You only live twice or so it seems,

Cmaj             Gmaj                  Cmaj
One life for yourself and one for your dreams,

Cmaj                  Gmaj                 Cmaj
You drift through the years and life seems tame,

Cmaj           Gmaj                    Cmaj
Till one dream appears and love is its name,

Cmaj          Gmaj                       Bsus4
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,

This dream is for you, so pay the price,

Cmaj                Gmaj                Cmaj
Make one dream come true, you only live twice,

Cmaj          Gmaj                       Cmaj

Note: Here I can't hear the acoustic guitar at well & it's more on the
      electric guitar. At the end of the running chords of Dadd96 & E5,
      Jonny use the wah-wah pedals to the end.
