Escrita
por John Lennon mas creditada à dupla Lennon/McCartney, foi gravada
em 21 a 30 de julho de 1969 e lançada em 26 de setembro de 1969, no
disco Abbey Road e depois lançada como compacto que tinha Something
como Lado A. Ela abre o disco Abbey Road. Chegou ao número 1 nos
charts pop americanos e número 4 no Reino Unido.
A
idéia era fazer uma canção pra campanha de Timothy Leary pra
governador da California. Ele concorria contra Ronald Reagan mas foi
preso por porte de maconha. John tocou guitarra ritmica, piano
elétrico, bateu palmas e cantou o vocal principal e backing vocals,
Paul tocou baixo e fez backing vocal, George Harrison tocou guitarra
solo e Ringo tocou bateria e maracas.
John
diz Shoot me repetidas vezes na introdução, o que seria profético
muitos anos depois quando ele foi assassinado. A revista Rolling
Stone colocou-a como número 202 da lista das 500 maiores canções
de todos os tempos.
Foi
acusada de plágio de You can't catch me de Chuck Berry e eles
fizeram um acordo pra John gravar 3 músicas de Berry pra pagar a
conta. Foi regravada pelo Aerosmith, Ike and Tina Turner, John
Lennon, Michael Jackson, Robin William com Bobby McFerin, Joe
Cocker, entre outros artistas.

letra:
Here
come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me
He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
Come together, right now
Over me
Over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me
