                Bad to Me – Beatles 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Lennon/McCartney
Recorded in 1963
Now on: "The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963"
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Here’s my reading of the Beatles’ demo of this little song. Not sure 
about the tuning. The guitar on the demo might be tuned down one step 
(Eb-Ab-Db-G—Bb-Eb) and played in E (transpose this chord sheet +1 for 
chords in the key of E). Whatever, the D-shapes work perfectly for the 
bass line. Comments and further suggestions welcome!
