I Want You (She's So Heavy) - The Beatles
Album: Abbey Road (1969)
Difficulty: Challenging (5/6)
"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney). The song closes side one of their 1969 album Abbey Road. It is an unusual Beatles composition for a variety of reasons: its length (nearly eight minutes), minimal lyrics, a three-minute descent through repeated guitar chords over a rising background of synthesized white noise, and an abrupt ending. It features Billy Preston on organ. It was the first song recorded for the Abbey Road album but one of the last songs to be finished, on 20 August 1969, the last time all four Beatles were together in the studio.
