[repeat chorus]
[freak-out section]
[Editor’s note: when I heard them live, they extended the
Freak-out section for a couple minutes, stepped up to the mic,
And executed the acappella section in *perfect* four-part
Harmony without *any* pitch reference! And no, it wasn’t taped,
Either; this was 1968…]
Acappella break:
Love love love love…
I love you, yes I do, I do (2X)
Coda (repeat to fade):
C Dm7/C C Dm7/C
Susan I love you
