The song structure for the ending of these two pieces is too similar to be coincidental, So what gives?
I've split the vocals out, changed the keys and adjusted the speed so you can hear just how close the melodies are. They form a perfect counterpoint.
Did George copy the melody subconsciously (as in My Sweet Lord), or was he sending a message back to the other Beatles? Was he doing this in fun or was he making a comment on Paul's work. Or, since George came up with the chord structure first, did Paul borrow from George? When George presented his song in 1966, it was rejected, only to have a similar chord structure appear a year later in Hey Jude.
