COMMENTS BY BEATLES
HARRISON: " 'If I Needed Someone' is like a million other songs written around the D chord. If you move your finger about you get various little melodies. That guitar line, or variations on it, is found in many a song, and it amazes me that people still find new permutations of the same notes." I Me Mine
