--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beatles - Day Tripper --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TAB: Day Tripper MUSIC BY: The Beatles (Released as a Single) TABBED BY: Eggman EMAIL: eggman98@hotmail.com This is that note that seems to appear before every tab found on the Internet telling you how good the song is ...like you didn't know! I know that Riff 3 isn't exactly right and probably doesn't strum the C# and B chords, but if you're playing on your own then it sounds ok! Alternatively, you could carry the pattern of the first part of the riff throughout.
