What is the penultimate Beatles song (second to last).

 

Is it considered Carry That Weight ? part of the final movement of Abbey Road ? That would be a momentous and poetic second-last track. I vote this one.

Is it Real Love ? Just before Now And Then , the final-ever beatles track? I could see that in a way.

Or is it For You Blue , just before the last track on Let It Be , the final album?

Or could it be Let It Be , A-side of the You Know My name single, final release by Beatles? I doubt this one.

Revolution 9 paul-mccartney

Seriously, I vote for second to last of Help !
Are you agree?

 
I became a real Beatles fan in 2008 after attending Paul's concert in Quebec City.

Favorite Album: Revolver and The White Album
 Favorite song by John : Strawberry Fields Forever || Favorite song by Paul : Eleanor Rigby
Favorite song by George : While My Guitar Gently Weeps

No, I was wondering the last in the discography, not on the White Album . Yellow Submarine succeeds that one.

In release order, it would have to be Real Love . If we're talking about recording order on Abby Road, I'm not sure that's the same as the track order. But technically The End is second-last and Her Majesty is the end.

@Mr. Moonlight if it's release order, it is whatever the last track in the US albums reissue is. Then whatever comes out next.

I thought we were talking about original release order. If we include reissues, it's going to keep changing.
