Thanks to two anonymous submitters who together assisted me to get
a complete correct tab to this beautiful and mournful song -
we miss you, John and George, and will always love you...
Since my band is performing a Beatles tribute concert,
we wanted to include this lovely song as the last of the set.
The (*-part) notations under verses are for the vocal components
of the tune and can be ignored if you have no use for them. We
want to play this song as true to album form as can be done. I
believe the lyrics to be as correct as possible. The "run tape"
is a direction to our soundman to run the actual recording of the
final 6 bars of music that captures John's heartbreaking studio
banter amidst the banjo farewell...we decided John could best speak for
himself here.
