So here’s a thought that might add some clarity to just about every “who helped who on which song” discussion out there. Paul was there, John was there, we can only speculate what really happened. It’s ok if you believe more in John’s version than Paul’s (I tend to believe more in Paul’s version, at least in most of the cases, though, for example, on Birthday case, I think the most credible source its Chris Thomas, because I think if you watch a beatle write a song in front you is something you never forget), but I don’t know if it is right to say “But we all know that John wrote this bit alone”. Many John’s fans obviously didn’t like that, but doesn’t mean that McCartney is not telling the true. You really think that McCartney only helped John in five or six songs? In the book Many years from now, Paul’s finally revealed his contributions to John’s songs, because Lennon never did. That’s not only controversial but surely inexact and unfair too. But on the other hand, John said he helped Paul in a lot of songs. In Lennon’s Playboy and Hit Parader interviews you can count in one hand the songs in which John mentioned any help from Paul in his songs. This shows that Paul’s has some participation in John’s section, and maybe he really helped on the second and last verse like he said. In fact John Lennon said in his interviews WITH PLAYBOY AND HIT PARADER that Paul not only contributed the “Woke up fell…” section but also the short lick “I love to turn you on”. But we all know that John wrote this bit alone. For example: He says that he wrote the “I read the news today”-part from “A Day in the Life” together with John. EltonJohnLennon Sunday 25 April 2010 In “Many Years From Now” Paul writes much which is – in my opinion – controversial.
