Lovely Rita-The Beatles

Pretty good bass line in this song. The tab isn't perfect and the timing may
appear off in some spots but thats because it was hard to fit it all in the space
provided, but if you listen and play along with the song a few times you'll
get the hang of it.

Tabbed By: Andy

Tuning: Standard
/ slide up
