It 's gobbledygook ; Come Together was an expression that Leary had come up with for his attempt at being president or whatever he wanted to be, and he asked me to write a campaign song. I tried and tried, but I could n't come up with one. But I came up with this, Come Together, which would 've been no good to him - you could n't have a campaign song like that, right ? Beatles historian Jonathan Gould has suggested that the song has only a single `` pariah - like protagonist '' and Lennon was `` painting another sardonic self - portrait ''. Recording Lennon played rhythm guitar and sang the lead vocals, Paul McCartney played bass, George Harrison played lead guitar and Ringo Starr played drums. It was produced by George Martin and recorded at the end of July 1969 at Abbey Road Studios in London. In the intro, Lennon says : `` shoot me '', which is accompanied by his handclaps and McCartney 's heavy bass riff. The famous Beatles ' `` walrus '' from `` I Am the Walrus '' and `` Glass Onion '' returns in the line `` he got walrus gumboot '', followed by `` he got Ono sideboard ''. Bluesman Muddy Waters is also mentioned in the song. Music critic Ian MacDonald reports that McCartney sang a backing vocal, but recording engineer Geoff Emerick said that Lennon did all the vocals himself, and when a frustrated McCartney asked Lennon, `` What do you want me to do on this track, John ? '', Lennon replied, `` Do n't worry, I 'll do the overdubs on this. '' In a 1970 interview in the Evening Standard, McCartney said he was disappointed about not singing live with Lennon ; instead, he overdubbed his vocals later : Even on Abbey Road we do n't do harmonies like we used to. I think it 's sad. On `` Come Together '' I would have liked to sing harmony with John, and I think he would have liked me to, but I was too embarrassed to ask him, and I do n't work to the best of my abilities in that situation. Release and legacy `` Come Together '' was released as a double A-side with `` Something '' and as the opening track of Abbey Road. The single was released on 6 October 1969 in the US, was on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 16 weeks, and reached No. 1. The single was similarly success when it was released on 31 October 1969 in the UK, reaching No. 4. Rolling Stone ranked `` Come Together '' at # 202 on their list of `` The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' and # 9 on their list of the Beatles ' 100 Greatest Songs. Lawsuit Further information : Roots : John Lennon Sings the Great Rock & Roll Hits In 1973, `` Come Together '' was the subject of a lawsuit brought against Lennon by Big Seven Music Corp. ( owned by Morris Levy ) who was the publisher of Chuck Berry 's `` You Ca n't Catch Me ''. Levy contended that it sounded similar musically to Berry 's original and shared some lyrics ( Lennon sang `` Here come ol ' flattop, he come groovin ' up slowly '' and Berry 's had sung `` Here come a flattop, he was movin ' up with me '' ). Before recording, Lennon and McCartney deliberately slowed the song down and added a heavy bass riff in order to make the song more original. After settling out of court, Lennon promised to record three other songs owned by Levy. A brief version of `` Ya Ya '' with Lennon and his son Julian was released on the album Walls and Bridges in 1974. `` You Ca n't Catch Me '' and another version of `` Ya Ya '' were released on Lennon 's 1975 album Rock ' n ' Roll, but the third, `` Angel Baby '', remained unreleased until after Lennon 's death. Levy again sued Lennon for breach of contract, and was eventually awarded $6,795. Lennon countersued after Levy released an album of Lennon material using tapes that were in his possession and was eventually awarded $84,912.96. The album was called Roots. Personnel John Lennon -- lead and backing vocals, rhythm guitar, electric piano, handclaps Paul McCartney -- backing vocal, bass guitar George Harrison -- lead guitar Ringo Starr -- drums, maracas personnel per Ian MacDonald The availability of separate tracks from the original Beatles multi-tracks ( due to release of Rock Band ) have made fresh investigation of the Beatles personnel data possible. One of the discoveries is that on the verses of `` Come Together '', the backing vocals are sung by McCartney. In an interview with Music Radar, Geoff Emerick correctly stated that McCartney did not sing on the choruses : `` Initially, Paul played the electric piano part, but John kind of looked over his shoulder and studied what he was playing. When it came time to record it, John played the electric piano instead of Paul. Paul might have been miffed, but I think he was more upset about not singing on the choruses -- John did his own backing vocals.
