Paul McCartney has shared (for the first time) the home demo for the song "Dear Friend", his response to "How Do You Sleep?", Lennon's blistering 1971 attack on Macca (with George Harrison on slide guitar):

The finished studio version of "Dear Friend" appeared on the 1971 Paul McCartney & Wings album Wild Life. The demo will appear on a remastered reissue with bonus material that's due to be released in December 2018.
Wild Life was McCartney's third post-Beatles album; the first credited to "Wings".
[Verse 1]
Dear friend, what's the time?
Is this really the borderline?
Does it really mean so much to you?
Are you afraid, or is it true?
Dear friend, throw the wine
I'm in love with a friend of mine
Really truly, young and newly wed
Are you a fool, or is it true?
Are you afraid, or is it true?
