NOTES.
1. The repeating riffs are essentially repeating octave G5 chords, in different arrangements.
This was not an attempt at a full TAB, but to assist in highlighting the lead accompaniment,
where it is most prominent, as they are not all the same.
2. “…Referring to the lyric "I used to be cruel to my woman/I beat her and kept her apart from
the things that she loved/Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene/And I'm doing the best that
I can", Lennon admitted that he had done things in relationships in the past that he was not proud of. …”
