"Because"
"Because" features a
Moog synthesizer, played by Harrison. The chords in the song were inspired by
Ludwig van Beethoven's "
Moonlight Sonata", in a roundabout way: Lennon said he "was lying on the sofa in our house, listening to Yoko play Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' on the piano.
.^ He said, "Honey you remember Joe, the guy I've been playing with for 20 years?
She did, and I wrote 'Because' around them."
[12] "Because" features three-part harmonies by Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, which were then triple-tracked to sound like nine singers. The results of this have been compared in sound to the
Beach Boys.

It was written by McCartney and based loosely on The Beatles' financial problems with Apple. (Paul had refused signing Allen Klein as their new manager.) It slowly and quietly follows into "
Sun King" (which, like "
Because", showcases Lennon's, McCartney's, and Harrison's overdubbed harmonies), "
Mean Mr. Mustard" (written during The Beatles' trip to India), and "
Polythene Pam" (contributed by Lennon). These in turn are followed by four McCartney songs, "
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" (written after a fan came into McCartney's residence literally through the bathroom window
[13]), "
Golden Slumbers" (based on lyrics but not the music of
Thomas Dekker's 17th-century song of the same name), "
Carry That Weight" (featuring chorus vocals from all four Beatles), and the climax, "
The End".

[14] Each has a distinctive style which McCartney felt reflected their personalities: McCartney's playing included string bends similar to his lead guitar work on "
Another Girl" from the
Help! album; Harrison's was melodic with slides yet technically advanced and Lennon's was rhythmic, stinging and had the heaviest distortion. Immediately after Lennon's third solo, the piano chords of the final line "And in the end...." begins.

^ It’s for an afternoon at the legendary Abbey Road studios next Tuesday (29 August) to witness the recording of David’s segment for Channel 4’s ‘The Abbey Road Sessions’.
"Her Majesty" opens with the final, crashing chord of "Mean Mr. Mustard", while the final note of "Her Majesty" remained buried in the mix of "
Polythene Pam". This was the result of "Her Majesty" being snipped off the reel during a rough mix of the medley. The cut in the medley was subsequently disguised with further mixing although "Her Majesty" was not touched again and still appears in its rough mix.

- One cassette tape version in the US had "Come Together" and "Something" swapped so that Harrison's composition opens the album.^ An instrumental version of the song, titled "Forever", was included as a bonus track on the CD version of the album.
