You Really Got A Hold On Me
                                 (Robinson)
                                The Beatles
                           With The Beatles (1963)


The lead guitar is usually doubled by a piano.  A great, simple song.  Notice
George's harmony over the "oh oh oh" part: he sings a minor third, so it sounds
like an Am for a second.  Of course, the instruments are still playing an A
(if you are singing harmonies you may want to avoid hitting the C# note in 
the A chord at this point to avoid a clash--an A5 would suit nicely).

  A9     (don't worry about this if you don't want to; it merely adds flavor
