Neil Diamond's "You Got to Me"

Recently, I listened to Neil Diamond for the first time in something like seven years and was surprised to discover that there's Clavinet in "You Got to Me."  I'm sure I heard it before but just didn't recognize it as Clavinet (for one thing, it's doubled with piano).  I figured out the part and notated it.  It's a recurring eight-measure phrase, although really it's just four measures repeated.  Note that it's played an octave lower than written.
