I always thought John played a regular C major guitar chord, but when I saw the rhythm guitar part on Beatles to a Tee, a C9 guitar chord was played, which led me to believe that John played a C9 guitar chord, not a regular C major chord.
On the record, and in the Royal Command Performance film, John is playing the C9 (X3233X). By the time the Beatles came to America in 1964, on the Sullivan Show & the Washington D.C. Show, that chord was replaced in favor of a first position C Chord. Another change: on the record, the Bbm is always played on the 6th fret during the verse. For the Washington D.C. Show, he played it on the first fret for the verse (though up the neck for "...and wonderful...").
Yes, you heard sawr. It is called an intrusive "r" that is common among non-rhotic speakers, those who drop the "r" at the end of words or syllables (ex.barter - bahtuh). For some strange reason, non-rhotic speakers like to drop Rs everywhere they can and then add them where they don't belong. For example, one might say, "It was my idear to go to the pahk". This is common among certain English dialects as well as in Australia and New England.

"Sophie Tucker and "Bongo stars".
Perfection. Is the most exact word to express what I feel. The Beatles and their bolero. Undeniable influence of the spanish caribbean.
Also Bossa Nova style!
very helpful, thank you
