I just feel the need to share so here is another I found really easy to learn. Its a Beatles cover of an old R & B classic. Just listen to it either on `Please Please Me' or the `Live At The BBC' albums to get the hang of it. I can't add the lead guitar fills as I'm not that advanced yet.
Intro:
G-----------------Em
Sha la la la la la la (repeat 3 times)
C------------------------
I's not the way you smile
-----------------G---
that touched my heart.
C------------------------
It's not the way you kiss
-----------G----
that tears apart.
---------Em------------------------
But how many many many nights go by
Am---------------------------------G--------------Em
I sit alone at home and i cry over you.What can I do?
C------------D--------------------G----Em--------G--
Can't help myself cause baby it's you. Baby it's you.
C-----------------------------------G------------------
You should hear what they say about you cheat cheat
C-------------------------------------------G--
They say they say you never never ever been true
------Em-----------------------------
Wo ho it doesn't matter what they say
Am-----------------------------------
I know I'm gonna love you any old way
-----------G------------Em--
What can I do then it's true.
C-----------------D-----
Don't want nobody nobody
----------------G-----Em--------G--
Cause baby it's you. Baby it's you.
Have fun with it!
Love & peace

I always loved this song. There was another group in the 60's who had even more success with this song than the Beatles, but I can't recall who it was. Beautiful melody.
Thanks.

Glad you like it Wes,
It may have been the Shirelles a girl vocal group who made the hit out of it.
I have to correct a mistake I've made, it appeared on the `Please Please Me' album not ` With The Beatles' sorry about that.
I love the song because it must contain one of the best of John Lennon's vocals.
Cheers

The Shirelles had a hit with Baby It's You in 1962.
But there was a band named Smith who recorded it in 69.
As I remember it also was a good version. Don't know the the name of the female singer though.
Welcome to GuitarNoise Timbit
Yes the version I was refering to was much later than '62. But 1969 sounds just about right. I didn't realize it was a female singer though.
It is a beautiful song.
Thanks

The Smiths apparently strum it differently. More of a bass-y type and less strums. I'm curious to hear the Beatles' version to try to play along with it. Nice work. :-)
