When the "Get Back" project bottomed out, and the band convened to record their farewell album, "Garden" was selected as Abbey Road's "Ringo track." Again with George's help, it was sculpted into a sort of second cousin to "Yellow Submarine," right down to the watery sound effects. On April 26, 1969, a basic track was laid down consisting of drums, John's guitar (fingerpicked in the style of his acoustic odes "Dear Prudence" and "Julia"), George's countryish lead and intro, which was constructed on the spot, and a guide vocal by Ringo that merely consisted of the first verse repeated three times. Ringo overdubbed his vocal on the 29th, although none of this vocal survives in the final mix.
