Doctor Robert Bass Tabs by Beatles

Doctor Robert
The Beatles
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney; released on "Revolver" album.

This song was written about a dentist Dr. Robert Freymann who was also a 
drug dealer. It's a harder rocking song, and I like the refrains, because 
they almost sound like a christmas song :-)
