You are most welcome, Brian! I was glad to have been able to find it.
I must be clear that I did not chart that chord myself. For future reference, here's how I found it:
1. I typed in "Am6(Maj7)/E" in Google search
2. One of the displayed hits had Am6 and Am(maj7) highlighted, and being that it was a tablature website, I clicked on the link (shown as safe)
3. The song that was displayed in the page that was opened had the two chords cited, but not the desired Am6(Maj7)/E; however, the webpage had links to artists by letter, so I clicked on "B"
4. I scrolled the "B" section to get to Beatles, then clicked on that link
5. I scrolled the alphabetical song list and clicked on the All I Want To Do tab with a 4.1/5 rating
6. I copied the start of the song provided in that tab and pasted in in my posting
Voila!

You dug a lot deeper into those sites than I did Gary. Persistence pays off as always. I figured one of our members who is into The Beatles in a big way would know the answer, off the cuff. Thanks again for researching that for me.

Gary-- your approach for solving the chord mystery is brillant.
And Brian, your earlier comment about confusing/obscure chord names is on the money !

You know...........this chord Am6(Maj7)/E when well played, has a similar characteristic to it, for me at least as THE chord. It is a thing of beauty.

I tried figuring out how to spell that chord on the guitar neck just by how you gave it, Brian. And you're right. It does have That Quality to it. So I must've gotten pretty close.

Jim, try it on your 12 string Rickenbacker. It sounds amazing.
