"Till There Was You" is a show tune written by Meredith Willson, popularised by his 1957 stage production The Music Man and its 1962 movie musical adaptation, and further popularised by the Beatles cover. The song became the first Top 40 hit for Anita Bryant in 1959, [1] prior to being recorded by the Beatles in 1963.
The love ballad "Goodnight My Someone", which immediately precedes "Seventy-Six Trombones" in the musical, has the same tune but is played in 3/4 time at a slower tempo. At the end of the musical, lines from "Seventy-Six Trombones" and "Goodnight My Someone" are sung in alternation with each other. [ 3 ]
The chord is favored by Pixies lead guitarist Joey Santiago, with D 7 ♯ 9, reminiscent of the opening to "A Hard Day's Night", opening and being called the "secret ingredient" of the song "Here Comes Your Man". A "brutally scraped" F 7 ♯ 9 features in the chorus of "Tame" against the three chord rhythm guitar part's D, C, and F chords. [27]
Alternative variants are easy from this tuning, but because several chords inherently omit the lowest string, it may leave some chords relatively thin or incomplete with the top string missing (the D chord, for instance, must be fretted 5-4-3-2-3 to include F♯, the tone a major third above D).

The song follows the E Dorian mode: the Em of "since she's been gone" shifting to a v (Bm chord) on "gone" then an IV (A chord) on "no-one” in the verse. The chords of the chorus (Em-A-Em) also create the Dorian progression i-IV-i. [10] The song achieves a thick sound through its double-tracked vocal, reverbed guitars, and busy drumming.
The implementation of chords using particular tunings is a defining part of the literature on guitar chords, which is omitted in the abstract musical-theory of chords for all instruments. For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano ), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion.
A German-language numbers station (G10) was operated by one of Polish intelligence agencies and was active until the late 1970s which used Keampfert's version of the song and its b-side repeated twice followed by the average format of a numbers station.
