Meredith Wilson wrote "'Til There Was You" for the 1957 musical, "The Music Man," and it was so tuneful that it became a pop hit before the musical was staged. Many people know it because of the 1963 Beatles' version, which had a bossa nova rhythm. In this key-of-G arrangement the guitar plays arpeggios ( i.e. playing the individual notes of a chord, ascending or descending) and strums). The intro (G, G#dim, Am7, D7), which occurs several times in the tune, is a standard jazz and pop turnaround.
