Wouldn't you love to be the bass player on this session?

Sits back and waits for the usual "McCartney was over-rated" comments.

That's not the bassline on the final version is it?

No, he tried a few different things before coming up with the final part . (That killer half note walk down on the final verse was an improve on the final take). Keep in mind, in those days it wasn't like they had months to do a track and years to complete an album. A track was usually finished by the end of the day and they had an album completed and released within 6 months. So they'd try a few things, settle on what was best and that's what you got. And almost always, what you got, was brilliant.
