He also stated that the song was one of George Harrison ‘s favourite songs on Rubber Soul at that time, despite Lennon’s dislike of it.Lennon would revisit this theme in a more apologetic fashion with his post-Beatles song ” Jealous Guy “.Personnel John Lennon _ vocal, acoustic rhythm guitar;Paul McCartney _ harmony vocal, bass;George Harrison _ harmony vocal, lead guitar;Ringo Starr _ drums, tambourine;Personnel per Ian MacDonald ;MacDonald criticised the vocal performance and added these comments about the guitar: “The guitar-work, some of which is badly out of tune, is similarly rough, the piercingly simplistic blues solo suggesting that the player was not Harrison but Lennon himself.” ;Covers A 1966 version of “Run for Your Life” performed by Nancy Sinatra was released on her album Boots. Although it did not chart nationally, this version experienced regional success at such stations as WPTR in Albany, New York.The song was also recorded by Gary Lewis & the Playboys on their album, “She’s Just My Style”, which was released in March 1966.
