Notes:
Written by Paul while in Scotland, this song was intended to appear between "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam". However, on playback, Paul didn't like it there, so he had it removed. The album's engineer, John Kurlander, recycled it to the end of the tape, mostly for safekeeping, so that it would not be accidently discarded. Later hearing it at the end, Paul liked it there, and agreed to keep it. Because it was a rough edit, the last chord of "Mean Mr. Mustard" begins "Her Majesty". The song ends abruptly because the final note was left behind, as it is the first note of "Polythene Pam." The Beatles liked Queen Elizabeth very much, and met her on October 26, 1965 upon receiving their MBEs - (Member British Empire). Paul said later that "she was just like a mum to us."Queen Elizabeth, Her Majesty, has the distinction of being the last person mentioned on the final track on the last album The Beatles were ever to record together. Remember, "Abbey Road" was the last album recorded, but not the last released, as it was followed by "Let It Be," and "Hey Jude," in the US that was recorded before "Abbey Road.
