Another Lennon classic, he really was unbeatable during the "Hard days Night" sessions.

I'm going to enjoy getting this one nailed.

You can play the A7 as x02223 or as x02020, but I prefer the former as the G note on the 1st (e) string helps supplement the high vocal note on "Whoa - ah"

The move from a C7 (x32310) to a bar F7 (131211) can best be accomplished by leaving the ring finger anchored on the 5th string while moving the middle finger to the 3rd string while simultaneously forming a bar on the 1st fret (and lifting the pinky).
Reverse the procedure to go back to the C7.

Strike a C/G (332010) as the last chord of the song to get the full richness of the ending.

When I Get Home - The Beatles Intro: A7 A7 Whoa-ah,, whoa-ah D7 G7 I got a whole lot of things to tell her, Am G7 when I get home. Verse 1 (and Chorus): C7 F7 Come on, I'm a-way, C7 F7 'cause I'm gonna see my baby to-day. C7 F7 G7 I got a whole lot of things I gotta say. . . to her. A7 A7 Whoa-ah, whoa-ah D7 G7 I got a whole lot of things to tell her, Am G7 when I get home. Verse 2 (and Chorus): C7 F7 Come on, if you please, C7 F7 I got no time for triv-i-ali-ties. C7 F7 G7 I got a girl who's waiting home for me. . . to-night. A7 A7 Whoa-ah, whoa-ah D7 G7 I got a whole lot of things to tell her, Am When I get home. Bridge: C When I'm getting home to-night, Am I'm gonna hold her tight. C Am I'm gonna love her till the cows come home. F G7 I bet I'll love her more, F G7 Am G7 till I walk out that door. . . a-gain. Verse 3 (and Chorus): C7 F7 Come on, let me through, C7 F7 I've got so many things, I gotta' to do. C7 F7 G7 I got no business being here with you. . . this way. A7 A7 Whoa-ah, whoa-ah, D7 G7 I got a whole lot of things to tell her, A7 when I get home - yeah. . .
