This song is an unusual Beatles composition for a variety of reasons, namely its length (nearly eight minutes), few lyrics (the title makes up most of the lyrics, aside from two more phrases; only 14 different words are sung), a three-minute descent through repeated guitar chords (a similar arpeggiated figure appears in another Lennon contribution to the album, "Because"), and abrupt ending. It is one of the last songs that the Beatles mixed as a group, on 20 August 1969.〔''The Beatles''. J Lennon, P McCartney, G Harrison… – John Lennon – books.google.com〕 Josh Hart and Damien Fanelli, writing for ''Guitar World'', placed the song 34th in their list of the 50 Heaviest Songs Before Black Sabbath, and said the song may "have inadvertently started doom metal".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 50 Heaviest Songs Before Black Sabbath: #40-31 )〕 Similarly, ''Classic Rock'' magazine commented that "the song pre-dated Black Sabbath's creation of doom rock by several months".〔Classic Rock Magazine, September 2014〕 ==Composition== The song begins in 6/8 time, with an arpeggio guitar theme in D minor, progressing through E7(♭9) and B♭7 before cadencing on an A augmented chord. In this chord sequence, the F note is a drone. The bass and lead guitar ascends and descend with a riff derived from the D minor scale. As the last chord fades, a verse begins in 4/4 time, based on the A and D blues scales, with Lennon singing ''"I want you / I want you so bad . . ."'' The two blues verses alternate, before the reappearance of the E7(♭9) chord, and McCartney playing a notably aggressive bass riff. This would function, throughout the song, as a transition to the main theme. The main theme repeats with Lennon singing ''"She's so heavy"'', with a long sustain on the last word. The second set of verses are rendered instrumentally with lead guitar. Another repeat of the "She's So Heavy" theme (this time featuring harmonies) is followed by Lennon singing a livelier repeat of the "I Want You" verse. During the next E7(♭9) transition, Lennon lets loose a primal scream of ''"Yeah"'', until his voice breaks. The song's coda consists of a three-minute repetition of the "She's So Heavy" theme, with the arpeggios double tracked, intensifying with "white noise" fading in as the theme continues consisting of multi-tracked guitars from Lennon and Harrison, Moog white-noise from Lennon and drums and bass from Starr and McCartney respectively until an abrupt ending.〔http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/DATABASES/AWP/iwyssh.shtml Alan W.
