Short story:

Paul McCartney of The Beatles flies to Lisbon, Portugal, Europe, with his girlfriend Jane Asher, to begin a holiday at a villa in Albufeira, owned by Bruce Welch of The Shadows. On the drive from airport to villa, McCartney begins to write lyrics on the back of an envelope, based around the title Yesterday.

Bruce Welch [The Shadows] : I was packing to leave and Paul asked me if I had a guitar. He'd apparently been working on the lyrics as he drove to Albufeira from the airport at Lisbon. He borrowed my guitar and started playing the song we all now know as Yesterday.
