We Can Work It Out
The Beatles
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney; released on single "Day Tripper / 
We Can Work It Out"

A great song again, by Paul. The most interesting things in the song for me 
are those slow triplets in the bridges and the outro, which sound as if 
they're changing the time to 3/4 and slowing down the tempo, but they don't.
