-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Beatles - If I needed someone from Rubber Soul album.
Released on December the 3rd of 1965.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by:PJVillanueva

This song is a drone kept by the bass guitar while Lennon's rythm
and Harrison's picking change from A to G.
Lennon plays a syncopated rythm in low chords while Harrison,who
uses a capo on the seventh fret, plays a fingerpicking guitar riff
with an alternate A-E bass.
(D-A in the seventh fret capo position)
Be patient.It works and it sounds great.

Chords:    A    x02220    Remember that rythm guitar is played
G    320033    without a capo.
Em   022000
F#7  242322
Bm   x24432
E    022100

Capo on 7th fret
