Come Together


"Come Together" by The Beatles is in the key of D minor. Released in 1969 as part of the "Abbey Road" album, the song was written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon-McCartney songwriting duo. It features a distinctive bassline and memorable lyrics, with a bluesy and rock-inspired melody. A curious fact about the song is that it was inspired by Timothy Leary's campaign for governor of California against Ronald Reagan in 1969.
