By the Beatles
as performed by Martin Sexton
transcribed by Logan Mayfield
This is based off the 4/18/2004 show. The words are just of a general lyrics
web-site, so they won't match up completly, but close enough. A lot of the verse
chords he seems to just play the bass line, then hit the Am and the D7 a little bit.
Listen to some shows to get a feel for it.
