Alligator
Paul McCartney (From "NEW")
NOTE: This chart is written as if the tempo is a fast 4/4. It could be
a much slower 4/4 (as in the bridge) with a lot of 8th notes, but I find
it easier to count it as a fast 4/4.

I write chord charts for my own use as a rhythm guitarist. I don't
claim they are the "right" way. They're not intended to be taken
as tabs - which notate exactly how a song was played on a recording.
