im pretty sure rubber soul didnt come out in 2003...
nice i love this song bueatiful guitar
I think Rubber Soul was released in 1966, and I also believe Paul used a capo for the guitar playing; I don't mean this in a negative sense, rather a positive one, since your interpretation of the song sounds lovely and I for one don't enjoy playing with capos all that much. I think that the above poster (froglog09) was being overly critical and closed minded when they commented on this tab, and perhaps it was out of frustration over the fact that they couldn't figure the song out? Anyways, I think you did a splendid job, Paul. Thank you for your contribution.
