do you perform the slower tempo, pickin arrangement or the groovy, strummin version? btw, i never noticed the verse similarity either
...GL once said when asked about where the songs come from: (paraphrased) 'you take everything you've ever heard and it gets all jumbled up inside your head'
YouTube - The Way I Feel (1967)
food for thought: if you take any alt cover arrangement you may have toyed with over the years, keep the general chord progressions, alter tempo and the phrasings and/melody plus adding or removing a bridge, well, you can end up with something that you could call your own...of course, if recording, you've got all those production tools that will help set it totally apart from anything that already exists ...i say there's a fine line between stealing something and being influenced by something)
