d-----4-7-----7---4-4-7-7---| You'll notice the five extra beats at

after ringo's little drum fill come in with an E note. I like to use the second fret of the D string. Just listen to the song to get the rythm.
then comes the chorus fill..

That bass and guitar breakdown part is wrong. I can't tab it out for you, I don't have my bass with me but it's different. That one works with it, but it's inaccurate to the recording.
And that guy is right about that part too. Good Job Anyways!
