Old Brown Shoe by The Beatles

Bass tabs

I want a love that's right,
 But right is only half of what's wrong
 I want a short haired girl
 Who sometimes wears it twice as long

 Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe
 Baby, I'm in love with you
 I'm so glad you came here,
 It won't be the same now I'm telling you

 You know you pick me up
 From where some tried to drag me down
 And when I see your smile
 Replacing every thoughtless frown

 So please, escape from this zoo
 Baby, I'm in love with you
 I'm so glad you came here
 It won't be the same now when I'm with you

 If I grow up I'll be a singer
 Wearing rings on every finger
 Not worrying what they or you'll say
 I'll live and love and maybe someday
 Who knows baby you may comfort me

      SOLO

 I may appear to be imperfect
 My love is something you can reject
 I'm changing faster than the weather
 If you and me should get together
 Who knows maybe you may comfort me

 I know my love is yours
 To miss that love is something I'd hate
 I'll make an early start
 I'm making sure that I'm not late

 For your sweet top lip I'm in the queue
 Baby I'm in love with you
 I'm so glad you came here
 It won't be the same now when I'm with you


   12/8 Time
