George Harrison's "Taxman" gave Paul another opportunity to showcase his greatness. The song's blistering, Indian raga-flavored guitar solo is all Paul, and George was delighted to let it stand. Paul and John's background vocals are priceless.
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
