I6
Chord on the I6 scale degree - Roman-numeral shorthand for its position in the home key.
12
songs
It is heard on twelve recordings, from 1963 to 1969, most of their years in the studio. Nothing before 'From Me to You' has it, and nothing after 'Sun King'. Two of them are 'She Loves You' and 'Sie Liebt Dich'. More of them come from 1965 or earlier than from 1967 on, eight against four. John sings lead on four of them, Paul on four and George on one. It sits on much the same share of each man's songs, 8% of McCartney's and 7% of Lennon's. Of the twelve, 'And I Love Her' carries claves as well, which only four of their recordings do.
