From: MENDE JOVESKI
Subject: TAB: Birthday – The Beatles
This was from the Beatles’ double album that showed that after Sgt
Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour and the meditation in India, that
they could still play rock `n’ roll.
A
lot of the songs on the white album
were written in India and recorded with only about 2 of the Beatles present
This song is an example of that with
A
catchy riff to go with it
Birthday – The Beatles
(The Beatles – although we call it the ‘White Album’ – 1968)
Arr. Mende Joveski (lyrics taken from Book: “The Beatles
illustrated lyrics”)
