Here Comes The Sun
Harrison

 

Lyrics:
Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
I seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:13, 0:35
George H. hits the guitar body to mark the unplayed beats, a la Help!

* NEW * Stephen Moss suggests :-
The time tapping noted here is more likely George's foot. Listen to how closely that guitar is miked. Were George to beat out the pauses on the guitar body, it'd be much louder.

0:19,0:35
Soft, then louder bumps against the body of the guitar (left)
2:23
The vocal comes out as "It seels like years since it's been clear". Previous verses are "feels/here", "seems/here", and there seems to be some doubt as to what word came there!
 

Notes:

With the dissolution of The Beatles in the works, they were required to spent day after day in meetings at Apple Headquarters. When the meetings ended for the day, George was relieved to be finished, and glad to be outside, in the sun. Having gone one day to visit his friend, Eric Clapton, while walking around his garden, basking in the sun, this song came to him, and through it, renewed optimism.
