[edit] Key

Is the song in B major or E major? I seriously can't tell.

The recording on Revolver is pitched in B major, but in my copy of The Beatles Fakebook, ISBN 0881887579, it is in C major. I must add that in recent Paul McCartney concerts, he performs the song in C major. Although I cannot find a clip of him doing so at the moment, here is a clip of McCartney performing the song in C major in a studio [1]

I would know that it is in C major in that performance because I have absolute pitch.

I hope this helps. Artvandelay 06:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't know if anyone's still interested, but from what I've heard, the piano chords were recorded in C and the song was later slowed down to allow McCartney to sing in B. --202.71.137.18 (talk) 19:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dennis Brain

I reverted to the more detailed account of Dennis Brain's involvement; without it, it appears that Barry Miles was correct, but he was not. John Cardinal 22:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
