                    How Kind Of You – Paul McCartney
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Paul McCartney
From: "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard" (2005)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
I left out the different bass notes and decided to use fixed voicings for
the multi-layered chords used here. The open strings make for complicated
chord names. Do not let that scare you off: they are all quite easy to play.
