  THE BEATLES - ANNA (Go To Him) (Alexander) From PLEASE PLEASE 
                ME album. Released on March, 22nd 1963.
   
  -------------------------------------------------------------

  Tabbed by:PJVillanueva


  


  The song is a cover from Arthur Alexander, also author of 
  A SHOT OF RHYTHM AND BLUES, YOU BETTER MOVE ON and SOLDIER 
  OF LOVE, among other hits. This version by The Beatles is 
  more defined than the original, which also had a string 
  arrangement . The Beatles recorded it at a higher pitch for 
  John, who, although at first sounds as If he's got a cold,
  delivers a great vocal part, more varied and confident than 
  Alexander's and with some very smart rhythm changes too. 
  This, like the rest of the covers on PLEASE PLEASE ME (ANNA, 
  BOYS, CHAINS and TWIST AND SHOUT) were recorded live without 
  any overdubs, with the exception of the celesta recorded by
  Martin on BABY IT'S YOU, to reinforce its guitar solo.





  Anna, you come and ask me girl
  To set you free, girl
  You say he loves you more than me
  So I will set you free
  Go with him, go with him

  Anna, girl, before you go now
  I want you to know now
  That I still love you so
  But if he loves you more, go with him

  All of my life I've been searching for a girl
  To love me like I love you. Oh, now

  But every girl I've ever had breaks my heart
  And leaves me sad, what am I
  What am I supposed to do oh, oh, oh 

  Anna, just one more thing, girl
  You give back your ring to me
  And I will set you free, go with him

  All of my life I've been searching for a girl
  To love me like I love you

  Cause let me tell you now
  But every girl I've ever had breaks my heart
  And leaves me sad, what am I
  What am I suppose to do oh, oh, oh 

  Anna, just one more thing, girl
  You give back your ring to me
  And I will set you free,
  Go with him, go with him
  You can go with him, girl, go with him
