“Dear Prudence”

One that John wrote while the band was in India. Mia Farrow’s sister Prudence was so into TM she locked herself in her room almost every waking hour trying to become all cosmic. John and George were assigned to coax her back into the study group. (“Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play...”) John used a fingerpicking style for acoustic guitar he learned from Donovan, another TM student. Since Ringo was still AWOL, Paul played drums on the session.
