As we seem to be having a Beatles moment I thought I'd post this one
Straight chords, no frills, fills or licks to get your head around
Written by John, this song is about a young American college student named Richard A. Cooke III, who was the son of a lady named Nancy, who was at the retreat in India at the same time as The Beatles. Richard really did go on a tiger hunt with his mother, and he did shoot and kill a tiger, and this song mocks that event.

Excellent Rodders,
And I love the "AYE UP" link to Wes's version of the next track on the White Album. Just like the real thing!
You have to be a real gone beatles fan to remember that.
