This is based on the acoustic version which was played on Later with
Towards the end of the chorus and during the Coda there's a chord I 
can't quite work out, I play it as a B7 which sounds okay but Paul plays 
something else. Not sure what though. F#m/B or Bsus4 (x244xx) sound okay as
                   Chords:
        Emaj7(076444)   Emaj7*       (xx999-11) 
        Amaj7(x07654)   Emaj7**      (xx9897)
         F#m7(242222)
         G#m7(464444)
           B7(x2120x) or        F#m/B(x242xx)
          C#m(x46654)
            A(577655)
            B(799877)
When playing Emaj7 you'll want to hit the low E string twice before playing
it so something like this:
