"Here, There, and Everywhere"

I learned a guitar phrase in "Here, There, and Everywhere" to-night, and I discovered that I'd neglected to mention something about the song on this blog.  Four years ago, after listening to Revolver, I realized that the line "But to love her is to need her" (sung over the guitar phrase I learned to-night, which starts at ~1:03) borrows the structure of the title line of "To Know Her is to Love Her," which was in the Beatles' repertoire.  It's included on Live at the BBC (recorded 16 July 1963, transmitted 6 August 1963).
