Paul composed the A section, John the B section, and George wrote the part that shifts into a relaxed waltz at the end.

It’s a beautiful song that expresses positive feelings, and by combining their individual songwriting sensibilities into a single, Beatles-esque work, it embodies the idea in the title that when they join forces, things go well.

Released as a double A-side with “Eleanor Rigby” and also included on the seventh album Revolver, which came out the same day, the single “Yellow Submarine” features drummer Ringo Starr on lead vocals and was a hit that topped the UK Singles Chart for four consecutive weeks.

While the overall key is low and the melody is relaxed, be mindful to stay in time with the bouncing shuffle beat.

It’s a catchy number that’s easy to try even for those who feel less confident with Western pop music.
