The rest of the song builds off these ideas. Once you can play
the above, you`ll be able to feel the small changes from verse
to verse, lead to lead.

This is the riff for the lead guitar.. If you play it by yourself you`d better
stick to E5 or perhaps an E7-chord for the two first measures..
This is also repeated twice.. And VOILA.. Get Back.. I`m not sure about the
end though, but then again I don`t think the Beatles were two sure about that
either...

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman,
But she was another man.
All the girls around her said she`s got it comin`,
But she gets it while she can.
