Much of the song is on piano with an orchestra back-up, and there are many more subtle changes that I glossed over. I tabbed out an alternate version of the bridge if you just want to play bass notes. Bass notes are in parenthesis ( ). The Beatles shift the pitch up after the drum break, so the only way to play along with the CD is to re-tune to the CD, or just sound flat (or not play along with the CD).
