Birthday Chords

(ver. 1)
Beatles
This was from the Beatles' double album that showed that after Sgt 
Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour and the meditation in India, that 
they could still play rock `n' roll. A lot of the songs on the white album 
were written in India and recorded with only about 2 of the Beatles present.
This song is an example of that with a catchy riff to go with it.
