The tune to the song "He's so Fine" is virtually the same. The ruling was that Harrison subconsciously plagiarized the tune. Appeals lasted for years, ending in 1998. He has said that if he had been aware of the similarity, he could have changed a few notes.

Did George Harrison plagiarize a song?
Not intentionally. He was sued over his 1970 song "My Sweet Lord", because the melody was nearly identical to "He's So Fine" recorded by the Chiffons. The lawsuit went on for years, with Harrison's former manager Allen Klein actually becoming his opponent when Klein bought the company that published "He's So Fine". Harrison was found guilty of "subconscious plagiarism", rather than purposely "stealing" the melody, but he continued to appeal. The Chiffons recorded a cover version of "My Sweet Lord", Harrison's 1977 single "This Song" mocked the lawsuit, and Harrison ultimately ended up owning both songs, while Klein suffered in court for switching sides.
