Lyrics Chords Track: Only Mama Knows Album/CD: Memory Almost Full Artist: Paul McCartney Composer: Paul McCartney Track Time: 4:19 Release: 2007 The first Abbey Road band track heard on the album, this song was recorded live. As was the case whenever McCartney played guitar or piano during tracking, bandmember Brian Ray played bass and McCartney would later replace that part. Paul's a good bass player," Kahne winks. The rocker opens with a sad string section actually, a complement of samples, Mellotron and live strings. Producer David Kahne also engineered much of Memory Almost Full.
