wallace williams John nicked the Guitar introduction from Pee Wee Crayton's 1954 recording "Do Unto Others".
I personally never liked the third verse - "change your head" Chairman Mao". I wish John had recorded this electric version without the third verse like on the 1968 "Esher" Demo in which he simply repeats the first verse -
You say you wanna Revolution
Well, you know
We all wanna change your head
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all wanna change the world
But if you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be, Alright.
