"And Your Bird Can Sing" - The Beatles DISCLAIMER: To be honest with you, tabing this out has driven me insane. The original recording isn't tuned to A=440, and it makes it very difficult to pin down certain notes. I've searched tabs and sheet music and they all say different things. here is what i'm hearing. I have "X's" marked on the systems i'm not 100% on. With that said, what's really important is the changes. All of the chords are accurate. As long as you play around the changes, you're good. The Form is also accurate.
If you want to try figuring it out for yourself, there is a video on YouTube of the isolated Bass Track. That's what I used for this tab. I hope this helps. |E maj |E maj |E maj |E maj | G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

This tab is not 100% accurate. However, i've been playing along to the song and it definitely works. Again, as long as you work around the changes, You're golden. Please give me constructive criticism. -Connor Larkin
