THE BEATLES - DAY TRIPPER (Lennon/McCartney) Released as a double
A-side single w WE CAN WORK IT OUT on December 3rd
1965.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by:PJVillanueva





This song was made in a haste when they were asked urgently for a
new single. The solo, a climactic crescendo, was played this time
by John, while George played a long ascending scale. Ringo plays
great fills, fours in the bass drum and snare during the 1st part
of the choruses (00:32, etc) and a very curious two sixteenth note
rebound on the 2nd (00:39, etc). Although it was supposed to be a
double a-side single, WE CAN WORK IT OUT had a greater airplay in
the end, but this track is a rave. And just listen to that third
chorus: John's falsetto melody is simply astounding.
