-------------------------------------------------------------- THE BEATLES - THINK FOR YOURSELF (Harrison) Released on RUBBER SOUL album on December, 3rd, 1965. -------------------------------------------------------------- Bass tab by:PJVillanueva Paul recorded two basses for this song. One conventionally and another with his Epiphone Casino tuned down and played through a fuzz box. You can find this second bass part and its tuning on my THINK FOR YOURSELF guitar tab. The conventional bass part is presented here. I've got a word or two To say about the things that you do. You're telling all those lies About the good things that we can have If we close our eyes. Do what you want to do And go where you're going to. Think for yourself 'Cause I won't be there with you. I left you far behind, The ruins of the life that you had in mind. And though you still can't see I know your mind's made up You're gonna cause more misery. Do what you want to do And go where you're going to. Think for yourself 'Cause I won't be there with you. Although your mind's opaque Try thinking more if just for your own sake. The future still looks good And you've got time to rectify All the things that you should. Do what you want to do And go where you're going to. Think for yourself 'Cause I won't be there with you. Do what you want to do And go where you're going to. Think for yourself 'Cause I won't be there with you. Think for yourself 'Cause I won't be there with you.
