Back In The Ussr - Beatles sur Guitariff.net
			 
		   
Differences from the versions already archived:

- adds chords to intro
- adds chords to bridge
- indicates chords played as rock-n-roll shuffles (5ths)
- adds chord markers for chorus riffs in Paul Zimmerman's version.  If memory serves me correctly, these riffs are correct.  Kudos to him for getting the bridge chords right!

Have a blast playing this!

#2 chords are played as quickly muted shots.  #4 chords are the same as the end of the bridge piece.  Speaking of which....

It's possible that the D5 and A5 are walked up/down one more fret (to 10th and 5th).
