Musical characteristics

The song is in the key of G major and in 4/4 time.[2] There is an introduction using piano and electric piano, with Paul McCartney and George Martin playing two different piano parts on separate ends of the same Steinway grand piano. The Steinway appears only in the song's intro and was overdubbed separately, as were McCartney's bass and Harrison's vocal overdubs.

The electric piano is a Hohner Pianet, played by John Lennon. The sound of the instrument's tremolo being switched off after the introduction can be heard.

The quick transition from G chord to a flat-III (B♭) is unusual, especially as its F-natural note is melodically sustained against the following D-major chord (with its concomitant F♯) creating what musicologist Alan Pollack terms "the most bluesy moment of the entire song".[2] The verse opens with three repetitions of a simple four-note motif ("Though you've gone away this morning, you'll be back again tonight") during which the chords mirror the lyrics in shifting from ii (Am chord) on "gone away" to IV (C chord) on "back again" to the tonic (G chord) on "tonight".[3]

The band Glycerine covered "You Like Me Too Much" on the album Harrisongs Volume 2 – A Tribute to George Harrison.[4]
