It turns up on six recordings, from 1964 to 1966, and 1964 has more of them than any other year, with four. 'Can't Buy Me Love' opens the run and 'And Your Bird Can Sing' closes it. 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'I'll Cry Instead' have it too. Of those, 'She's a Woman' is in C♯ minor, one of only three of their recordings in that key.
