  Bass tab by:PJVillanueva






  Recorded in one single take on March 11th 1964, like Lennon's
  version of Medley & Russell's TWIST AND SHOUT, recorded also in 
  one take a year earlier, on February 11th 1963, LONG TALL SALLY
  was featured in concerts throughout their whole career. It was 
  recorded at a higher pitch and speed than Little Richard's and
  McCartney's vocal work, as well as The Beatles arrangement, was 
  said to have surpassed the one of his original composer. 


 
  

I'm gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John
He says he has the blues but he has a lotta fun.
Oh baby, yeeeeh now baby, woooooh baby
Some fun tonight.

I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally
He saw Aunt Mary commin' 
And he ducked back in the alley.
Oh baby, yeeeeh now baby, woooooh baby
Some fun tonight.

Solo

Well long tall Sally built pretty sweet
She got everything that Uncle John needs
Oh baby
Yeeeeh now baby
Woooooh baby
Some fun tonight

Solo

Well We're gonna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight.
Everything's allright.
Have some fun tonight
Have some fun
Yeh yeh yeh

We're gonna have some fun tonight. 
Have some fun tonight
Everything's allright.
Have some fun tonight
Yeah we'll have some fun
Some fun tonight
