Beatles - Im A Loser Bass guitar tab
I'm A Loser
The Beatles
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney; released on "Beatles For Sale"
album
This is one of my favourite songs. I like the lyrics, Paul's bassline in the
refrains, and the solo which is played by John on harmonica then by George
on guitar. You can slightly feel Bob Dylan's influence on this song.
