- The rest of the song builds off these ideas. Once you can play
- the above, you'll be able to feel the small changes from verse
- to verse, lead to lead.

- This is the riff for the lead guitar.. If you play it by yourself you'd better
- stick to E5 or perhaps an E7-chord for the two first measures..
-
- This is also repeated twice.. And VOILA.. Get Back.. I'm not sure about the
- end though, but then again I don't think the Beatles were two sure about that
- either...
