"The End" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album Abbey Road.

A common type of three-chord song is the simple twelve-bar blues used in blues and rock and roll. Typically, the three chords used are the chords on the tonic, subdominant, and dominant (scale degrees I, IV and V): in the key of C, these would be the C, F and G chords. Sometimes the V 7 chord is used instead of V, for greater tension.
Dominant chords are considered to sound unstable in classical music harmony contexts, and so in a classical piece, these chords often resolve down a perfect fifth or up a perfect fourth (e.g. G 7 tends to resolve onto chords based on C, such as C suspended 4 or C major ninth).
The Rickenbacker 360/12, a guitar popularised by the Beatles in 1964 and subsequently adopted by the Byrds. In addition to reflecting George Harrison's interest in Indian classical music, [2] "If I Needed Someone" was inspired by the music of the Byrds, who in turn had based their sound and image on those of the Beatles after seeing the band's 1964 film A Hard Day's Night.
This is possible because the ♭ II 7 has the same third and seventh as the V 7, but inverted; for example, the third and seventh of G 7 are B and F, while the third and seventh of D ♭ 7 are F and C ♭, which is enharmonic to B. Performing this substitution (in this case, changing Dm 7 –G 7 –C maj7 to Dm 7 –D ♭ 7 –C maj7) creates ...
For example, for the chords "Dm7 ♭ 5 G7 ♭ 9, play down the B♭7 scale from its seventh to B" (B being the added half-step "bebop note" and third of the G7 ♭ 9 chord). This works because the notes of the Dm7 ♭ 5 chord { D F A ♭ C } are also chord tones of B ♭ 9 { B ♭ D F A ♭ C }.
Because of Lennon's lack of productivity, Harrison was afforded a rare opportunity to have a third song, "I Want to Tell You", included on a Beatles album. [ 49 ] [ 50 ] [ nb 5 ] The session took place on 21 June 1966, two days before the Beatles had to leave for West Germany to begin the first leg of their 1966 world tour .
A minor major seventh chord, or minor/major seventh chord (also known as the Hitchcock Chord) is a seventh chord composed of a root, minor third, perfect fifth, and major seventh (1, ♭ 3, 5, and 7). It can be viewed as a minor triad with an additional major seventh. When using popular-music symbols, it is denoted by e.g. m (M7).
