jj - it's not a note-for-note copy. To convince yourself pay close attention to the last few notes in each instance. They change from instance to instance. I've long noticed - and appreciated - this fact about this song and it bugs me that the writer gets this wrong.
In fact I take issue with a number of things said in this article, in particular the implication that GL's lyrics are not literary and that there is some kind of inverse relationship between the literary quality of lyrics and the melodic quality. That's just nonsense. There is no obvious reason why one shouldn't be able to have both.
Sheesh the more I write, the more ticked off I get. Better stop.
