“There You Are Eddie” is an unfinished song written by Paul McCartney during in December 1968 holidays in Portugal.
I remember one tune he played for me in Portugal, which he had written on the lavatory (he rarely went there without his guitar), which was called ‘There You Go Eddie’. Just a short verse, and I don’t think he ever completed it. He had discovered that my first Christian name is Edward, something I’ve always kept quiet.
Hunter Davies, 1985 – “There You Are Eddie” would be rehearsed by Paul McCartney during the “Get Back” sessions in January 1969.
