Carol Tabs

(ver. 1)
Beatles
The Beatles
Written by Chuck Berry

A typical Chuck Berry song, with a guitar intro. The most interesting thing 
in the song is that the intro and refrains are in standard 12-bar form, but 
the verses are twice longer. The Beatles performed it live at the BBC 
sessions, John sang the lead. Nice guitar work by George.
In my opinion, this tab is far from perfect, so p-l-e-a-s-e correct me if 
necessary!
