Hey Bulldog has some of McCartney's really fine bass work. =) And the other bass tab on
site for this song sucks. So here's my version.
Not 100% accurate, and there are way too many variations (takes up way too much time to
out and tab). But these tabs are good enough to mess with and improvise.
Intro

A|--14-14------14----14-----------|
E|--------------------------------|
Riff 2 (Verse and Solo)
Varies throughout different parts of the song. Just improv if you're jamming. And if you
the exact basslines, then figure em out yourself. Work out your ears. =D

There are lots of variations in the outro, and some of them are just basically
octaves of B and F# (that's 9 on D string and 7 on E string for B, and 9 on A string and 11
G string for F#.)
Well, hell, the throughout the entire song McCartney is throwing in improvised
So just get the feel for it and have fun with the basic outline I've tabbed for you. =D
