The Beatles – Not A Second Time (Bass Tab)

Auto-scroll

Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney; released on the album "With The Beatles". "Not A Second Time" was mainly a John Lennon composition, and their first song to feature a piano solo (while not their first song with a piano). The rest of the arrangement consists of two rhythm guitars (one acoustic and one electric), bass, drums and John's double-tracked lead vocal. The piano is played by George Martin. Paul's bass is hard to hear in places, and some sources even (incorrectly) claim that there's no bass guitar used in the song at all.
