Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
This song is a drone kept by the bass guitar while Lennon's rythm
and Harrison's picking change from to .
Lennon plays a syncopated rythm in low chords while Harrison,who
uses a capo on the seventh fret, plays a fingerpicking guitar riff
with an alternate - bass.
(- in the seventh fret capo position)
Be patient.It works and it sounds great.
Chords: x02220 Remember that rythm guitar is played
320033 without a capo.
