This is Beatles song. George Harrison took the vocal of this song in the album of Please Please Me.

I am practicing this song right now. It is very good song on key of E.

There are all of the diatonic chords (except for dim7) of key of E in this song (See the diagram below). It is very good study for this area of circle of 5th too.

This song has a secret. lol

This song has dominant modulation from the key of Em (red in the figure below) to E (green). Em's three chords are Em, Am and B7 (red in the circle of 5th), and E's three chords are E, A and B7 (green). Their common dominant chord is B7 (yellow). The key changes from Em (red) to E (green) through B7 (yellow). Very nice secret was made by John Lennon.

I am still practicing this dominant modulation on my soprano now. I like G chord in the intro. It is very clear sound compare to Em.
