                                    Dear Prudence - Tab                          
                
                                     (Lennon/McCartney)
                                Transcribed by Randy Robb
     This is in response to the Dear Prudence Tab request. Please note that 
     the lowest string is tuned to a D, and that the tablature refers to what
     strings should be played, not the order. To finger-style pick this 
     properly use this order:
