All You Need Is Love Bass

(ver. 3)
Beatles

Standard Tuning (E A D G)

I've seen a couple requests for this, and it's one of my favorites. 
I've tried to approximate the rhythm, but it's pretty easy to pick out.

The beginning parenth of the time marks should match up 
with the note being played at that time. 




Notations Used:
h = hammer on
p = pull off
\ = Slide down
/ = Slide up


Introduction: No bass

You can play some minor variations during certain parts, notably when
Paul slides from the 14th fret. Here's one I tend to play that fits
in well:
