‘Dear One’ is the second song on George Harrison’s seventh solo album Thirty Three & ⅓.

Written by Harrison during a holiday in the Virgin Islands in early 1976, the song was dedicated to Premavatar Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography Of A Yogi. Harrison was given a copy of the book in India in 1966 by Ravi Shankar’s brother. See more…

I think this is the only song I’ve ever written with an A tuning. For a change it is nice tuning to open chords. I wrote the lyrics in 1976 on vacation in the Virgin Islands right before I started work on 33?, and they are directed to Paramhansa Yogananda – author of Autobiography Of A Yogi – and founder of the Self-Realisation Fellowship and a great influence on my life.
