BACKGROUND:
"We just started joking, you know, singing `quando para mucho'.
So we just made up, ah, Paul knew a few Spanish words from school, you know.
So we just strung any Spanish words that sounded vaguely like something.
And of course we got `chicka ferdy' in.
That's a Liverpool expression - just like sort of - it doesn't mean anything to me but `na-na, na-na-na'.
Rhythm guitar part. John plays the intro using Travis picking.
TEMPO: Tranquil

The story behind the song

"Sun King" emerges from the harbor sounds at the end of "You Never Give Me Money," featuring lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies. The song's final lines playfully mix faux Romance languages, which John Lennon described as a result of joking around and stringing together Spanish words that sounded vaguely like something, along with a Liverpool expression. George Harrison noted that the recording was initially inspired by the reverb-laden sound of Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross." It plays like a dreamy, atmospheric interlude, inviting a sense of gentle meandering.
