Bass tab by:PJVillanueva
Recorded in one single take on March 11th 1964, like Lennon's
version of Medley & Russell's TWIST AND SHOUT, recorded also in
one take a year earlier, on February 11th 1963, LONG TALL SALLY
was featured in concerts throughout their whole career. It was
recorded at a higher pitch and speed than Little Richard's and
McCartney's vocal work, as well as The Beatles arrangement, was
said to have surpassed the one of his original composer.
I'm gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John
He says he has the blues but he has a lotta fun.
Oh baby, yeeeeh now baby, woooooh baby

I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally
