simple backing guitar chords emphasising beats 2 and 4
.
Vocal lines, are more of an American close barbershop harmony.
Spread chords in the guitar at the start.
'Mondolin sound' in chromatic guitar phrase in B section, produced using a
Leslie cabinet
.
Vocal line frequently has a
high tessitura
, a distinctive feature of McCartney's singing style.

AABA type song structure
but using shorter B section and extended with extra AB sections.
Unusual 3 bar intro, with free rhythm and chromatic slip from chord of Bm to Bb.
A section in G major; B section is in the remote key of Bb and only 4 bars long; outro.
