Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
A D Em F#m
I must be sure from the very start
Em A D Em A
That you would love me more than her

solo: They doubled tracked this, and spliced different takes together,
so its impossible to play all you hear on the record with one
guitar. The following tab represents the dominant lead at each
point (it switches between guitars to best represent which is

I'll cry instead
(Lennon/McCartney)
C9: x32033 G: 320033
G C9 G C9 G C9 G C9
I've got every reason on earth to be mad,
G C9 G C9 D
Cos I just lost the only girl I had
C7
If I could see you now, I'd try to make you say it somehow
G D G
But I can't, so I'll cry instead.
I got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
I can't talk to people that I meet
If I could get my way, I'd get myself locked up today
But I can't, so I'll cry instead.
Bm
Don't wanna cry when there's people there
A
I get shy when they start to stare,
D E7 A7 D7
I'm gonna hide myself away, but I'll come back again some day
And when I do you better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
Yes I'm gonna break 'em in two,
and show you what your lovin myn can do
Until then I'll cry instead.
Things We Said Today
Lennon/McCartney
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am

2. You say you'll be mine girl, 'till the end of time.
3. 'nough to make you mine girl, be the only one.

1. You'll be thinking of me, somehow I will know.

1. Someday when I'm lonely, wishing you weren't so far away.
2. Someday when we're dreaming, deep in love, not a lot to say.

You Can't Do That
This is my first tab attempt, and I'm not even close to being an amateur guitarist.
If you spot any faults, please let me know. I picked up the opening riff for "You
Can't Do That" while I was strumming my six-string. It's nylon-strung, which may also
contribute to it sounding a little different.
SONG: You Can't Do That (opening riff)
ARTIST: The Beatles
AUTHORS: John Lennon and Paul McCartney
ALBUM: A Hard Day's Night (1964)
TRANSCRIBED BY: Paul Edwards
I believe the opening riff is somewhat of a fret-string reversal to the riff of "Enter
Sandman" by Metallica.
