Comments: 1) The slide guitar interludes vary. I've transcripted one from the introduction (there are two, making a dobro) just in case of identifying the main melody. 2) I really dislike this song. It has a quite bizarre chords sequency that doesn't make a beautiful result. And the lyrics are very poor, not to mention the "Russians" part, that reveals a very shallow knowledge about the facts or, at least, a kind of ingenuity from my (our) favorite songwriter/musician. I'm the biggest George Harrison fan in the world, for sure... but this song, along with only 2 or 3 other songs from his entire career, is unpassable. 3) Why had I spent my time transcripting it? Well, "a friend came to me, and told me that he wanted help"... so it was worthwile.
