Most or all Taxman bass tabs are incorrect for at least the very fast bridge section. Throughout taxman Macca uses pull-offs onto open strings, but especially in the bridge. A 7th note (C) is not used in the bridge, but a 6th (B). You can hear this better by removing the vocals and slowing down the song. Play along and you’ll see. He does a similar trick in Got To Get You Into My Life. Pull-offs are not always used throughout, but examples are given for the rest of the song.
