Most strangely, an alarm
bell goes off in the middle

2:39-2:48
Someone (likely Ringo) sings
out the beats from one to
eight, and then shouts "ooop".
At the same time John says
(Right channel) "Give it
some more!" (Level ? More of
the song ?) |

The structure of the last
chorus is slightly different
to the others. Max Mismetti
notes that at least part of
this is because of a mistake
(anomaly!)
On Anthology 2, I found
the answer! Apparently,
Ringo recorded the basic
track and forgot the order
of events on the end, or he
made a mistake on the basic
track and wasn't feeling
like recording it all over
again. So he sang normally
as if the mistake hadn't
happened, but on Anthology
we can hear the piano
better. The song chords are
C, F and G. The mistake can
be seen 'cause the piano has
its chord change delayed 1/4
of bar (between brackets is
where it was supposed to
be):
C(correct)
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry don't make me blue
(F) F
Cause you know darling I love only you
(C) C
You'll never know it hurts me so
How I hate to see you go...
G (corrected!)
Don't pass me by
That's why he sings
differently "know it hurts
me so" and makes a lot of
noise with his drums. It's
to disguise that F chord
that is still on. You can
hear on the White Album too,
but on the Anthology 2 is
better. |
3:24-3:50 * NEW *
Lots of fiddle harmonics.
Also in other places in the
song. "No one uses fiddle
harmonics" apparently. I can
hear why. Ugh. |
