The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby bass tab
Here is a tab for bass guitar that follows along with the cello in "Eleanor

cover this song.

Keep this form for each section I mentoned until the song is over...it really
sounds great and if you listen to the original recording it sounds almost
completely like the line the cello plays. It sounds great also if you play
with a guitarist.
Thank you.
