possível. Paul se inspirou pra fazer Helter Skelter depois de ler
uma entrevista com Pete Townshend na Guitar Player Magazine em 1967.

sujo que o The Who havia gravado. Foi com isso em mente que ele
compôs Helter Skelter.

de 6 cordas e guitarra. George Harrison fez backing vocals, tocou
guitarra ritmica e slide guitar.Ringo tocou bateria, sino e gritou.

assassinatos.

A letra:
When I get to
the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Do, don't you want me to
love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter, helter
skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Will you, won't you want me
to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Look out
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out, 'cause here she comes
Helter skelter, helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out, 'cause here she comes
When I get to the bottom I
go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again, yeah, yeah
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again, yeah, yeah
Well do you, don't you want
me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Look out
