Tab for The Beatles (Actually pre-Beatles, more like The Quarrymen) song from Beatles Anthology 1. This is the only song written by Paul McCartney & George Harrison...but not John Lennon, although he sang lead on this song.
I like the tab out there for this song, but felt that it could be more flushed out..so here it is, enjoy!
