Instrumental: chorus chords, then verse chords


NOTE: This song was rumoured to become the third Beatles 'reunion'
single, but it never materialized. "The song had a chorus but is
almost totally lacking in verses. We did the backing track, a
rough go that we didn't really finish. It was a bluesy sort of
ballad, I suppose, in A minor. It was a very sweet song. I like
it a lot. Should it ever be completed it would probably end up
as either "Now And Then" or "Miss You". I wish we could have
finished it." (Jeff Lynne, producer of the Beatles reunion
tracks).
