And Your Bird Can Sing

“And Your Bird Can Sing” was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney.  McCartney stated that he helped on the lyrics and attributed the song “80–20” to Lennon. It was released on their 1966 album Revolver in the United Kingdom and on Yesterday and Today in the United States.

The song is remarkable for its extended dual-guitar melody, originally played by George Harrison and Paul McCartney. In many ways the interest of the original comes from the instrumental sections…thus making it a good candidate for an entirely instrumental arrangement.
