By John Lennon
Album: Lennon Acoustic
The version of Love on Lennon's Acoustic album is fairly simple. For each 4/4 measure,
bass note is plucked on the first beat and simple down strums (or a finger picked chord)
each of the remaining three beats. The bass notes for each measure is the chord's root
for those chords that are followed by a slash (the bass note in this case is the
after the slash).
