Acknowledgement:  This song was originally transcribed in 1993 by Jim Campobello (campo@calspan.com). I downloaded Jim's version and transposed into the key of G used on the Anthology album.  I also added some bluesy 11ths and 9ths which give the Beatles that bluesy rock sound.  The Beatles also played this in F# in the opening segment of the movie A Hard Day's Night.  A great song that I have just rediscovered.  Enjoy!
