Notes.
1. An early demo of the song exists and clearly reveals the 'Open E' tuning.

2. Regarding the song's square-dance theme, [Leng] suggests that folk dancing's
cycle of about-turns and to-and-fro movement reminded Harrison of the Beatles'
"seemingly endless, and pointless, legal orbits around one another" in the early
70's.
AYou serve me and I'll serve you,
Swing your partners, all Gget screEwed.
ABring your lawyer and I'll bring mine,
Get together, and we could Ghave a bE7ad time.
VERSE 2:
AIt's affidavit swearing time,
Sign it on the Gdotted Eline.
AHold your Bible in your hand,
Now all that's left, is to find Gyourself a nE7ew band.
