When I saw him live, he said Harrison wrote the extra verse when they were in India together, but because of Harrison being legally bound by his Beatles contract they couldn't use it on the album.
george harrison wrote a verse for the song colours not this song, this is a well known poem from before donovan the name of which i'm not bright enough to tell you
@A; I'm not sure how well-known this supposedly pre-Donovan poem can possibly be: No one else has ever mentioned hearing it, or hearing of it, it can't be found anywhere, & you, the sole claimant, dont know the title or the author. On the slight chance that Harrison didn't write it as Donovan said, i'll be happy to be wrong, no big deal: The real story: George -contributed- it to Donovan, & -sang- it on the orignal recording, which made the single too long, & so was edited off.

@smoku46
This song isn't even about the Zodiac, so no.

I love it when Don just seemlessly tosses it in when playing live, no introduction, just as it was always meant to be there.

An absolutely beautiful verse for an already spectacular song! Love it, George. Rest in peace.

George Harrison wrote this verse. It makes the song better, in my opinion. Too bad it's not even used on the album :(
