With two brilliant versions already posted, the heavy duty satchalicious one and the high-voltage version from the bluesvoice himself, I had to take another approach....
I picked up my acoustic, still tuned CGCGCC after "Within you without you" and recorded two tracks of rhythm and one lead. One take on the lead vox and added some subtle harmonies ..... It's a very rough quick-and-durty version ... but I think this song can take it :D
Come Together

In a word: stunning. The Delta Blues / slide treatment works brilliantly (not least because you play it so well!). I think Lennon would have approved. What one are you doing next?!

One has already been covered brilliantly by Sandy "The Word". The otherone will feauture a church organ and the same C-tuned guitar, but I'll leave that as a surprice !!! lol

This is amazing Geir! Simple arrangement works so well...like a cool breeze on a hot, hot day. This version could make a snowman sweat! You've out done yourself on this one...once again.

I know nothing. This track proves it to me. It's way beyond the reaches of an ordinary man.
Again I'm amazed at the breadth of your tallent Geir. This is such a good track.

Trying desperately to get off this site today, and then I saw this one that I missed 11 years ago. Well, how can I not check this out?
Excellent! Stripped down, as this song was always meant to be – whether The Beatles knew it or not.
