Artist: The Beatles
Song: Yesterday
Album: Help!
Bassist: N/A see **NOTE** (Paul McCartney)
Tuning: Standard (E,A,D,G)
Tab: C.B. (baldemor_christian@hotmail.com)
**NOTE: There isn't actually a bass guitar in this song, the two closest
sounding things to a bass are Paul finger-picking the three bottom strings
of his acoustic guitar (which is actually tuned a whole step down) and a cello;
these two, along with one other are the only instruments in the song. However,
this song can still be played on the bass and it still sounds good. This tab
itself is what the cello plays.**
