This Beatles song in triple time is a beautiful example of the use of simplicity and repetition. It has several interesting features, including a 6/8 time signature, a signature, iconic bass/riff line, and a parallel minor key change. The first western pop songs to feature a sitar, the song is a succinct, 2 minutes long, has no chorus and is made up of 3 verses and 2 bridges. the lyrical "hook" (the title phrase) is used only twice, once at the top of the tune and once at the end, and yet it is unforgettable.

The song has several interesting features. It is in 6/8 times which creates a trance-like, yet compelling and swinging groove. We'll learn a basic strum that will be the launching point for the signature bassline/riff of this song.

It's harmonically simple, and extremely repetitive, using a total of 6 chords, 2 for the verse and 4 for the bridge.

A large part of the song features a melodic "hook", a descending baseline that is played repeatedly, a 4 bar structure outlining a D major chord with a brief, 1/2 bar visit to the bVII chord (C major) in bar 3.

The song is primarily made up of layers of acoustic guitars and sitar. Everyone has to be in the right place at the right time for this to sound good!
