The studio heads didn't think this song was really sellable. But Don pointed out that since it was the B side it didn't really have to be hot selling song. Studio agreed. What a surprise it must have been for them all when this 45rpm turned out to be a double sided hit record. This is the most re-recorded song in the history of music. I don't have this song so I don't know if these are any recordings chords but they sound good.
