notes .
1 . this simplified version corrects an array of previous chord tab’s .
2 . it matches the recorded version .
3 . in his autobiography , george harrison spoke briefly about the song , describing how
its music had been inspired by the final track on bob dylan’s ’blonde on blonde’ album –
“the ’you’ in long , long , long is god . i can’t recall much about it except the chords ,
which i think were coming from sad eyed lady of the lowlands – D to E minor , A , and D –
those three chords and the way they moved . ” – george harrison [ i me mine , 1980 ]
