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+G

| A minorAm | E MajorE | A minorAm | E MajorE |

|  A minorAm  |  G#m7G#m7    C#m7C#m7  |  F#m7F#m7 |
I'm very sure this never happened to me before

|A minorAm  E MajorE |  C#m7C#m7   |  A minorAm    |     E MajorE  | E MajorE |
I met you and now I'm sure this never happened before

|  A minorAm  |  G#m7G#m7    C#m7C#m7  |  F#m7F#m7 |
Now I see this is the way it's supposed to be

|A minorAm  E MajorE |  C#m7C#m7  | A minorAm       |     E MajorE |
I met you and now I see this is the way it should be

| A minorAm     D9D9   |   G+G |
This is the way it should be for lovers

|Am7Am7      D9D9  |  G+G |
They shouldn't go it alone

|Am7Am7     D9D9  |     G+G    E MajorE | E(six beats) |
It's not so good when you're on your own

|  A minorAm   | G#m7G#m7    C#m7C#m7  |  F#m7F#m7 |
So come to me now we can be what we want to be

|A minorAm   E MajorE |  C#m7C#m7  | A minorAm      |      E MajorE |
I love you and now I see this is the way it should be

|A minorAm     |      E MajorE
this is the way it should be

| A minorAm     D9D9   |   G+G |
This is the way it should be for lovers

|Am7Am7      D9D9  |  G+G |
They shouldn't go it alone

|Am7Am7     D9D9  |     G+G    E MajorE | E(six beats) |
It's not so good when you're on your own

|  A minorAm  |  G#m7G#m7    C#m7C#m7  |  F#m7F#m7 |
I'm very sure this never happened to me before

|A minorAm  E MajorE |  C#m7C#m7   |  A minorAm    |     E MajorE  |
I met you and now I'm sure this never happened before

|A minorAm     |    E MajorE  |
this never happened before  ...(repeat)...


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

Cheers,
