Subject: TAB: "Please Please Me" by The Beatles

Posting this in response to an EMAIL request. Don't get to follow this
group much any more, as we're kind of busy here at Digital keeping the
ship afloat. I can often respond to EMAIL requests for Beatles tab given
a little time, though. Feel free to ask.
