    Bass tab by:PJVillanueva

                                     




    This song has really got punch. John's guitar solo is simply 
    awful. Maybe they didn't include it in the A HARD DAY'S NIGHT 
    film, although they did on the LP, because of its raw lyrics. 
    Another example of this jealous harsh language of John's is
    RUN FOR YOUR LIFE (RUBBER SOUL closing number). But In spite 
    of its lyrics YOU CAN'T DO THAT rocks! 

 



I got something  to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking to that boy again
I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat
Because I told you before, oh, you can't do that

Well it's the second time I caught you talking to him,
Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin
I think I'll let you down and leave you flat
Because I told you before, oh, you can't do that

Everybody's green, 'cause I'm the one who won your love,
But if they'd seen you talking that way they'd laugh in my face

So, please listen to me if you wanna stay mine,
I can't help my feelings I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat
Because I told you before, oh, you cant do that. No!

                     SOLO
           
Everybody's green, 'cause I'm the one who won your love,
But if they'd seen you talking that way they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine,
I can't help my feelings I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat      
Because I told you before, oh you cant do that
