Now what's the rhythm and how many typos are in there? My guess is the song that goes "Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream", but what is it called? "I'm only sleepin"?

Yes that looks like it, especially the second line.
Great tune (on Sgt. Pepper's); much cooler than Norwegian wood.

Tommorow Never Knows in on Revolver and I'm not even much of a Beatles fan Carl. Say no to drugs.

Tomorrow Never Knows. I was playing that a lot in NYC on just fretless guitar
4 or 5 years ago until I got tired of carting more than one guitar around.
Surely you remember it from the many times you came to my microtonal guitar concerts Joe.

I don't remember there being a Sitar on that piece, but then I'm not a big Beatles fan. It's just a melody to me.

So it is. I had it confused with Within You Without You,
since Joe mentioned he thought it was by Harrison.

By the way, I think you meant "is" instead of "in".

Oh...I made a typo while correcting Carl when he was wrong.

***Ah yes! Thanks so much, David, for solving the mystery tour for
us! I guess Paul was trying to put *slides* into it, even though he
was using a fretted guitar. So, I naturally thought maybe the
original used a sitar or some such, since I remember them doing
that... So much for us as Beatles experts! :)

***Unbelieveably enough, even *I* would have recognized "Within You
and Without You...".... :)

You know, maybe I'm not quite as "out of it" as I generally think I
am. This link is interesting, or I wouldn't advise reading it:
