---&---

I also listened to 1967-1970 to-day and found a few things.  I stopt transcribing after "The Fool on the Hill" because my hands were starting to hurt from typing so quickly; otherwise, I might have found more.

"Strawberry Fields Forever"

There's an ambiguous word in the first line: "Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to."  It could be either "to" or "too."  The "to" makes sense with the next line ("Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to / Strawberry Fields"), but the "too" makes sense with the "Let me take you."  The "Let me take you" with "I'm going too" implies that the speaker/singer and whomever he's addressing will go there together.

"A Day in the Life"

I have nothing to add to this, but there's some parallelism between "Found my way downstairs and drank a cup" and "Found my way upstairs and had a smoke."
