Chords for 10 Beatles Songs That Paul McCartney Hated

_ _ _ _ _ If within the Beatles we were to analyze the biggest fan of the band, it would be [F] almost
obvious that McCartney was the winner.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ Apart from a small period during the first years of the 70s, Paul always expressed and
showed his love for the band, and in some way he was and is the one who carried their
legacy better, whether it was convenient for him or not.
Paul has always been very diplomatic with his own perception of the group.
He was not as explosive as Lennon or sarcastic as Harrison, or as reserved as Ringo.
So it is not common to find negative comments from Paul towards the band, towards his bandmates,
or towards their songs.
But there are always exceptions.
And today, we present you 10 Beatles songs that Paul McCartney hated.
[Em] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ Yoko Ono's avant-garde influence on Lennon's compositions and lyrics had a strong [Eb] influence
on this work.
Experimenting with tape loops as had happened with Tomorrow Never Knows or Carnival of Light,
here John together with Yoko and with some contributions also from George and Ringo formed
a piece that polarized the band's fans.
[Eb] Was it necessary on the White Album?
This question that has been asked for decades was the same question Paul asked himself when
the album's tracklist was established.
Paul and George Martin, the band's producer, tried to prevent it at all costs.
It was described by Lennon as an unconscious portrayal of what will happen when the revolution happens.
McCartney insisted that Lennon released it as a solo work and not under the group label.
But his efforts were impossible and McCartney reluctantly accepted it.

[F] Unlike Lennon, who could talk about songs as crap or as shit, Paul had his much nicer
terms for describing songs he wasn't very proud of, most often calling them filler songs.
This is one of them.
In a nod to country-western, Lennon and McCartney toss out this ballad that isn't exactly among
the best on the Help album.
He first described the song's composition as 60-40, talking about the percentages of
input between himself and John, and then said it was probably his alone, describing it as
one of the songs they made to be B-sides to singles.
In his words, it wasn't very memorable. _ _ _ _ _
Hated by John and Hated by Paul, it was part of their live shows during 1961, and since
those times, it was not completely convincing for anyone.
They tried to record it for Please Please Me, and they discarded it in the end.
And in with the Beatles, it finally found a space in front of the need to fill a new album.
The recording is not perfect.
[Dbm] George Martin himself, after almost 30 takes, said it was enough and managed to put two
takes together and get the final song out.
The band argued fatigue and always perceived the song as a song that everyone put minimal effort into.
Paul over the years recorded another song with the same name, with wings, and when asked
about the Beatles song, he said, I don't remember much about that one.
Certain songs were just work songs.
You don't have much memory of them.
He later called the song a failed attempt at a single.
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [Ab] _
This song was given to George Harrison to provide vocal participation in the album A
Hard Day's Night, and this was thanks to Richard Lester, director of the film, because he felt
that Harrison also deserved a moment of prominence in the movie.
Like other examples, the Beatles barely made an effort to record it, and this meant that
it was not much to the liking of McCartney, who was already quite cramped in the few spaces
given to his songs on the tracklist of the album, which was completely dominated by [D] Lennon.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ This song is one of the highlights of Beatles for sale, and McCartney in its recording put
a lot of demands on his partners to make it as good as possible.
However, Paul's perception of the song changed over the years.
For the book, Many Years From Now, in the 90s, he said, I think it was a bit more mine than John's.
Sometimes, you start a song and you hope it gets to its best part when you get to the
chorus, but sometimes that's all you get, and you don't get it, and I suspect this
was one [Db] of them. _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] How was one of the best songs of the final stage of the band was not to Paul's liking.
It has to do with the treatments that were given to the song.
It had several turns until finally Phil Spector chose a recording for Let It Be, and we know
that Paul did not love the treatment that the producer was giving to the songs.
Same reason for the following song.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Ok, this one is not exactly hated by McCartney, quite the opposite, but, if there is something
that Paul hated about this song, it was the production that Phil Spector gave it for the
Let It Be album.
Paul conceived it as a simpler song than it ended up being, and was against the orchestration.
He even sent a letter asking for respect for the treatment of his song and given specific
indications of what had to be modified.
Apple ignored his requests, and Paul never agreed with how the song ended up.
With Wings, and later as a solo artist, [E] he sang it in concerts under his original idea,
and until 2003, when he decided to promote the Let It Be Naked project, he was finally
able to release the song as it was originally meant to be.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ According to Ian MacDonald's book, Paul was in a bad mood when this song was recorded.
Then you add to it that it has references to the Maharishi, a character that Paul didn't
like so much, and then you add that John went to sing it with the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton.
Mmm, those could be some very valid reasons.
Paul has said little or almost nothing about the [Eb] song. _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ It is complicated to think that a song of the acclaimed revolver is not to Paul's liking,
but it all comes thanks to a fight.
Paul left the studio furious and did not participate in the song.
It was the first time he was not present in a recording of the band.
John brought it almost finished, recalled McCartney for Barry Miles' book many years from now.
I'm not sure, but I think it was one of the only Beatles recordings in which I never played.
I think we had an argument or something, and I said, oh fuck off, and they said, okay,
we'll do it.
I think George played bass, and yes, George did [E] play bass. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] It's not hard to hate Little Child.
Wow, it always gets put on the list for the worst Beatles songs, and that's because it's
not exactly brilliant.
Lennon and McCartney didn't try too hard, and it came off as a filler song.
Then both wanted to ignore it, wishing it had never existed.
Considered by Paul as a work song that was made to fill a space on the album.
