I noticed a lot of the tabs for this song were off in many places and laid out
poorly so I decided to tab it myself... This song has a fun bass line (although
nothing in this song compares to Eric Clapton's lead guitar playing, he
really makes his guitar weep).
/ or - Slide up or down
h - Hammer-on
~ - Hold
x - Muted note
Each number along the top represents an eigth note (the song itself is 4/4).
The dashes "-" in those numbers are for timing reasons... ex: 12345-678 is still a
whole measure (4 quarter notes), the 5- and everything under it still represents
one eight note.
*Note: There are a lot of slide offs that aren't necesary (a sort of glissando),
they just make it sound better. Also, there are a lot of measures where McCartney
plays on two strings at the same time, while this is not necesary as well, it is
what he really does and gives the bass line a little more flare.*
