I directed four of the Beatles videos, Paperback Writer in Rain in 1966 and Hey Jude and Revolution [N] in 1968.
John wrote Revolution and he said, whatever else you do in the song, I think I ought to
have a close up on if you go talking about Chairman [F] Mao, you ain't going to make it with
anyone anyhow, because that is the lyric in the [C] song.
[F#] And I said, yeah, my idea for Revolution is to kind of make it [G#] down and dirty and rough.
He said, fine, just make sure I have a close up for that line.
[B]
[G#] John sang live and then Paul and [F#] George did the sous-videos live.
But it's basically live vocals to a backing track, which is often what was happening in those days.
[N] John sang it straight, except I think the lyric about you can leave me out.
And then he says [B] in.
