MONEY (That's What I Want)
From    With the Beatles
Words and Music by: Berry Gordy, Jr. & Janie Bradford
This song has been posted twice (both below)
Tabbed by:  Erik Jalava & Jeremy Ball which (sorry guy's but is wrong)
And sent by  Steve Previdi   which is basically right but is only the chords
(see that version below for the chords and words)
Now for song like this with a stong hypnotic riff ..the riff is everything
..leave out the riff and you leave out the songs
This transcription is for the piano part with permeates the whole song
The 6th and 3rd strings have to be played together you can't just strum the
Hit the E string with your thumb and the G string with your third finger
I also have an acoustic solo version of this song
