Paul McCartney - This Never Happened Before

This Never Happened Before
By Paul McCartney

Tabbed by Sam Borchard


I wrote the chords out with measures to give a sense of timing, everything is in 4/4,
except for one measure with 6 beats which is marked.

Intro:

musings in G

| Am | E | Am | E |

| Am | G#m7 C#m7 | F#m7 |
I'm very sure this never happened to me before

|Am E | C#m7 | Am | E | E |
I met you and now I'm sure this never happened before

| Am | G#m7 C#m7 | F#m7 |
Now I see this is the way it's supposed to be

|Am E | C#m7 | Am | E |
I met you and now I see this is the way it should be

| Am D9 | G |
This is the way it should be for lovers

|Am7 D9 | G |
They shouldn't go it alone

|Am7 D9 | G E | E(six beats) |
It's not so good when you're on your own

| Am | G#m7 C#m7 | F#m7 |
So come to me now we can be what we want to be

|Am E | C#m7 | Am | E |
I love you and now I see this is the way it should be

|Am | E
this is the way it should be

| Am D9 | G |
This is the way it should be for lovers

|Am7 D9 | G |
They shouldn't go it alone

|Am7 D9 | G E | E(six beats) |
It's not so good when you're on your own

| Am | G#m7 C#m7 | F#m7 |
I'm very sure this never happened to me before

|Am E | C#m7 | Am | E |
I met you and now I'm sure this never happened before

|Am | E |
this never happened before ...(repeat)...


The song ends strangely as well in the original, I'd suggest just slowing down to an arpeggiated E

Cheers,
