I Cant Help Myself
Written by Holland/Dozier/Holland originally recorded in 1965 by
The Four Tops (their first single) reaching number 10 in the UK
Number 1 in USA.The original bassist is the legendary, the one and only James Jamerson.
Taken from Jamersons original bass line, some others tabs are
incorrect, thought I would tab the correct one.
The only problem is to get the lower G note in at the start of the verse.
Old James was very, very good and fast at these fill in notes.
If youre not fast enough, youve missed it!
