I've provided new audio for this song that is transposed up 5 half steps from the original for our singers.
Sounds like chipmunks singing, but you should practice along with this.
...though I did find this vid clip from the Beatles' movie "Hard Days Night," which is a very funny movie the Beatles made the same year they put out two other albums and were on tour!
The only reason this video is staying on YouTube is because the audio has been manipulated one half step lower than the original (from D to D flat).

Ethan, making this bass part simple for you. Just play every root note three times throughout the song on counts 1 + 2.
This approach requires you to memorize the 2 parts of the song: a Verse and a Chorus, which is easy.
