NOTES
1. This Wilburys song has been superficially perceived as just a ‘throwaway song’ by sundry articles,
noting that “…it was just knocked off in a few minutes…”. The fact that the original song, has split
verses with intercut Bass Line fills and 12 sting walking riffs, in Drop D tuning, are all evidence that it
was a genuinely crafted Pop Song. It would be unsurprising, if in-fact George had worked it out on a
ukulele, first? :-R
