Notes.
1. Although this song was written for Ringo, it was sung by John who alleges that
he "owed much to Paul" who was stronger on the guitar. http://www.beatlesbible.com/

2. The hallmarks of Lennon's legacy of banjo-style guitar chords are apparent,
especially in this songs fingering of 'G to G7' & 'Fadd9 to D7sus4'.
