"I Can't Make up My Mind"

I did some clicking around Wikipedia this morning (I think it was something along the lines of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's Works Live [which I was listening to] to Keith Emerson to Hammond organ to List of Hammond organ players to Rod Argent), and I rediscovered this Rod Argent interview.  I'd been looking for this, specifically for the part where the interviewer mentions the Beatles' having F major and B major in the same song.

Both F major and B major are in "I Can't Make up My Mind."  F major to B major is the transition in the lines "I need you here" and "I want you by my side."  Since I hadn't recorded a version since last October, I thought I would record and post a new one.  I'm not particularly sure of the electric piano part in this, but the chords (which are all I played) are right.

I've broken up the twelve-string chords into arpeggios, which I'm not sure is right, but it's more accurate than just straight chords.  It sounds a bit twangy because I'm still not quite sure how to record it.

My recording cuts off a bit early because I still don't really know the part during the fade-out.
