  The rest of the song builds off these ideas.  Once you can play
  the above, you'll be able to feel the small changes from verse
  to verse, lead to lead.

            ^ these are only done the 2nd verse I think.. (listen to the record..)
  
  All this goes twice, and then we have:
  
  Chorus:

  This is the riff for the lead guitar.. If you play it by yourself you'd better
  stick to E5 or perhaps an E7-chord for the two first measures..
  
  This is also repeated twice.. And VOILA.. Get Back.. I'm not sure about the
  end though, but then again I don't think the Beatles were two sure about that
  either...

  [Electric Piano solo - same chords as verse]
  
  [Chorus]
  
  Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman,
  But she was another man.
  All the girls around her said she's got it comin',
  But she gets it while she can.
  
  [Chorus]
