notes :
1 . this tab arose from the frustration that no written music exists in any media , re
this simple but charming song .
2 . this song was most likely written for james mccartney ( 12th september , 1977 ) who
would have just turned six years old in 1983 . http : //En . wikipedia . org/wiki/linda_mccartney
