--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: John Lennon From: "Walls and Bridges" (1974), now on many Greatest Hits collections Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard One of Lennon's sweetest tunes. Large parts of the composition and the production sound very much like Harrison - from the slide guitar intro to the chord pattern in the chorus and outro recalling "My Sweet Lord". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
