This verse, from Dylan's original (between Harrison’s verses 2 and 3), 
is left out in Harrison’s version:

Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow,
But mama, you're just on my mind
