Certainly they had a strained relationship at times.

"I should hate you...but I guess I love you."

Not Guilty was George on the defensive after India . George was supposedly trying to gain some more influence within the band and it failed what with the fall out from the rumours about the Maharishi which John was very bitter about and Paul and Ringo leaving early.

Not guilty
For leading you astray
On the road to mandalay.

There was also business problems in Apple already and George was stating his stance in the song.

Not guilty
For getting in your way
While you’re trying to steal the day.

Something about the ego of Macca's Pepper

 

I am not trying to be smart,
I only want what I can get.

Really?
