Song: Polythene Pam
Artist: The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road
Year: 1969
Track: 12

Tabbed by Dan Mooney

All of the below is my own work. 
All tab below was transcribed through my ears only.

Legend
h          = hammer-on
p          = pull-off
/          = slide down
10b(11)    = bend up to note in parentheses     
(11)r10    = reverse bent note in parentheses to original note
10b(12)r10 = bend to note in parentheses and
             reverse to orginal note all in one pick of string


The basic chords for the song are D, A, E.

And that's the basic chord structure of the entire song for acoustic.


Now let's get to the electric!
