" She Said , She Said " was the final track recorded during the '' Revolver '' sessions . It was also the first composition that Lennon had brought to the band in almost two months , since " I 'm Only Sleeping " . Because of Lennon 's lack of productivity , Harrison was afforded a rare opportunity to have a third song , " I Want to Tell You " , included on a Beatles album . The session took place on 21 June 1966 , two days before the Beatles had to leave for West Germany to begin the first leg of their 1966 world tour . It took nine hours to rehearse and record , complete with overdubs , making it the only song on '' Revolver '' to be made in a single session . After the subsequent mixing session , the Beatles ' producer , George Martin , said : " All right , boys , I 'm just going for a lie-down . " The creative cooperation among the four Beatles was at its highest during the '' Revolver '' period . There nevertheless remained a philosophical divide between McCartney and Lennon , Harrison and Starr due to McCartney 's refusal to try LSD . McCartney took part in the rehearsals for " She Said She Said " but did not contribute to the finished recording . He recalled : " I think we had a barney or something and I said , ' Oh , fuck you ! , ' and they said , ' Well , we 'll do it . ' I think George played bass . " Harrison played a Burns bass guitar , which he had used earlier in the sessions during initial recording for " Paperback Writer " . Harrison then contributed the lead guitar part , incorporating an Indian quality in its sound and providing an introduction that Riley describes as " outwardly harnessed , but inwardly raging " . Case describes the recording as " a metallic spiral of guitar and drums as aggressive as anything by the Who or the Yardbirds "
