Carry That Weight Bass

(ver. 2)
Beatles
          Fifteen takes of the basic track were recorded 
          on July 2nd, along with Golden Slumbers as one 
          song. George on bass, Paul on piano and guide 
          vocal and Ringo on drums; John didn't participate 
          as he was in hospital. The chorus was sung by Paul, 
          George and Ringo in unison and recorded with other 
          overdubs the following day.






  Boy, you're going to carry that weight,
  Carry that weight a long time
  Boy, you're going to carry that weight
  Carry that weight a long time

  I never give you my pillow
  I only send you my invitations
  And in the middle of the celebrations
  I break down

  Boy, you're going to carry that weight
  Carry that weight a long time
  Boy, you're going to carry that weight
  Carry that weight a long time
