I have the original version transcribed here as heard on The Feel Of Neil
LP, Greatest Hits LP, and on the B side of the 1966 release of "Solitary
Man". The version that appears on the Do It LP is sped up from E to F. The
version on the Double Gold LP and the 1970 single is still in E, but
repeats the second verse and chorus again after the third chorus, then
fades. The Do It and Double Gold LPs and 1970 single version is also
peppered with drums and other percussive instruments.
