Yeah, but it's also boring and absolutely nothing special.

"Twist and Shout", "She Said She Said", "Revolution", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun", "Dig a Pony", "Don't Let Me Down", even "Eight Days a Week" and "Ticket to Ride", for example, not to mention solo work like "Mother". McCartney can belt them out too, don't get me wrong ("Oh! Darling") but Lennon has a raw power and quality that he could never match.
