(1) Final transition from McCartney lead to Lennon lead in AHDN
McCartney goes into the last "when I'm home, everything seems to
be alright", eventually unto:
feeling you holdin' me tight
tight yeahmmm it's been a hard days night
^^^^
The moment indicated is where Lennon takes over lead vocal with the
"mmm" (or whatever he actually enunciates).
It can't represented perfectly in text because there's simultaneity
in the transition. But you know what I mean.

Pairs of double-lines of lyrics showing the separate parts, spaced to demonstrate the overlaps ?
I'm reading as much as I can from a book on Google Docs, as
a hardcopy costs almost 1K... It is called The Songwriting
Secrets of the Beatles, by Pedler...
Here's a link: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Songwriting_Secrets_Of_The_Beatles/O8w1cyT65ZIC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover
In it, we can see the way these 'slain moments' are
created. They became masters at using the powerhouse of
chord combinations to 'hook' us in and keep us astonished.
The book does use a lot of musical terminology, but it is
basic, and you can find defs online...
