Song: The Word Band: The Beatles Album: Rubber Soul A tab by Gedaliah Ejdelman E-mail: gejdel69@yahoo.com I couldn't really line the lyrics too well with the tabs so thats why they're separate except in the chorus. And also don't mind the slashes; I just put them there so I could separate the chords one from another after I realized that spaces don't work. ========================================================================= Intro: (Piano plays the first three notes and then then the guitar enters and plays its part twice:) (G)/////////(Dsus4)///////(Dm) e-7---------3---------------1------------1------------------1---------------- B8---------3---------------3------------3------------------3----------------
