From the album of rarities - 25. Paul's guitar is a bit out of tune in the recording but 
it sounds like the
song is meant to be in D Major.
The song is played using entirely barre chords and focusing on the bass end of the 
chords. The minor and
majors don't matter so much outside of the intro, they're all kind of played like power chords.
