Three versions

1. George Coaching the Musicians
(3:56)

2. Take 1 -- Indian Instruments
(5:34)

3. Remix
(5:07)

We were talking ...

You immediately feel an intimate tug from George inviting you in for an important conversation.

George was really getting comfortable with the sitar, and hey so what if he actually "borrowed" the music from a larger piece by Ravi -- it's got a unique structure, and the flatted sevenths and thirds are always so satisfying!

The other Beatles stayed away from the sessions.

After a coaching session, George nailed it in two takes.

Felonius my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now

Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentleman loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same

The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we been waiting too long

Tell me where are you driving
Midnight cruiser
Where is your bounty
Of fortune and fame
I am another
Gentleman loser
Drive me to Harlem
Or somewhere the same
