THE BEATLES - PLEASE PLEASE ME (McCartney/Lennon) From THE
BEATLES ANTHOLOGY I Disc I # 24. Released on
November, 21st 1995.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
The version released on the single and on PLEASE PLEASE ME
album is an edit of different takes. Lennon's harmonica and
the vocal parts are too high on the mix and on the verses the
rhythm guitar part is lost. Luckily the one on the ANTHOLOGY,
recorded at EMI on september, 11th 1962 lets us hear it and
that's the reason why I chose to tab this one, although there
is no harmonica here and Ringo is not playing, but Andy White,
who had just contributed to the recording of P.S. I LOVE YOU,
which would be issued as B side of LOVE ME DO. Everyone agrees
that John's harmonica is essential to PLEASE PLEASE ME, as it
was to LOVE ME DO, but I think this is a great document too.
Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you
You don't need me to show the way, love
Why do I always have to say, love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you
I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart
I do all the pleasing with you,
It's so hard to reason with you
Woah yeah, why do you make me blue?
Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try, girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, woah yeah, like I please you
Woah yeah, like I please you
Woah yeah, like I please you
