This is a song Paul sang at the very beginning of a short jam session with Donovan
Leitch. The session occured in January of 1969 while a sound engineer readied the
studio for a Mary Hopkin recording session. (If youd like to hear the entire jam
session, just search "Paul McCartney and Donovan" on YouTube, and you can find the
track spread over two videos/parts there.
The chords in parentheses () are optional. Thanks :)
