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.
