I just saw that right before you posted. This is so cool. Mystery solved. It's amazing the amount of magic that band captured.

You know, I just always played a G7sus4 there (353533) and thought it sounded pretty close, but yeah I guess that doesn't capture it all. Pretty cool -- thanks for posting this.

Cool!

From beatlesbible.com:

Reproducing the chord: Although all the instruments would be required for an accurate replication of the chord, the most commonly used version for a solo guitar is a G7sus4: a chord barred at the 3rd fret.
E ----3----
B ----3----
G ----5----
D ----3----
A ----5----
E ----3----

This lacks the crucial A note from Harrison's and Lennon's chords. This can be approximated by playing a G7sus4/A, again barred at the 3rd fret:

E ----3----
B ----3----
G ----5----
D ----3----
A ----5----
E ----5----
