Chorus:
     A              F#m             C#m              A
Come on         Come on         Come on         Come on
        Come on         Come on         Come on         Come on

          E           A       B         E  (repeat intro riff)
Please please me oh yeah like I please you.


Verse 2:
You don't need me to show the way girl
Why do I always have to say girl

Repeat chorus

Middle:
A                 
I don't want to sound complaining

 B                                  E
But you know there's always rain in my heart

A    
I do all the pleasing with you

 B                           E
It's so hard to reason with you

     A       B               E  (repeat intro riff)
Oh yeah, why do you make me blue?


Third verse same as the first,
Repeat chorus, but second line of chorus is repeated three times, then :

Ending chords are:

E   G   C   B   E


Additional notes:

The notes are the same, but George would have played the 
octaves like this...

-|---12--11--9--7--9--7--4---
-|---------------------------
-|---------------------------
-|---14--13--11-9--11-9--6---
-|---------------------------
-|---------------------------

... and now it can be told... the great internet argument is
over, thanks to the Anthology releases.  After the middle eight,
right after the words "why do you make me blue," George sometimes
would twist the riff around a little bit and play is thus:

-|---12--11--7--9--4--7--7---
-|---------------------------
-|---------------------------
-|---14--13--9--11-6--9--9---
-|---------------------------
-|---------------------------
