George admitted that he probably inadvertently copied the song which is
one reason he might have lost the case. Unlike you I find the songs very
similar. Too similar to be anything but a subconscious copy. Usually if
you
do a conscious rip off job you change the song enough that you know you
will get away with it. The Beatles were masters of this.
