composition = = on 27 january 1970, two days after returning to the uk, lennon woke up with the beginnings of a song inspired by his conversations with cox and kendall. working at home on a piano, lennon developed the idea and came up with a melody for the composition, which he titled " instant karma! " the song employs a similar chord structure to that of " three blind mice " and " some other guy ", after lennon had used the same progression in his 1967 composition for the beatles, " all you need is love ". later in 1970, he would adopt the melody of " three blind mice ", an english nursery rhyme
