"Watching Rainbows" is an unreleased song by The Beatles recorded on January 14, 1969 during the massive Get Back sessions at Twickenham Studios. It features John Lennon on lead vocal and electric piano, Paul McCartney on lead guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums; George Harrison had temporarily left the group at this stage of the sessions.
This song, which first evolved from a loose "Mean Mr. Mustard" jam, is available on several unofficial Beatles bootlegs.
It is believed that Lennon shouts "Shoot me!" during the song, but upon closer inspection it is obvious that he is actually shouting "Shoot big!"
This song bears a strong resemblance to I've Got a Feeling, another song from the Get Back sessions.
