…with long digressions about sneaky-complicated ‘60s pop songs.

I want to know the origin of I → I7 → IV → iv. I have a vague sense that a lot of songs do it, but I can’t come up with any besides “Desperado”.
“Dear Prudence” is sorta close, as is the end of the chorus in “I Saw Her Standing There”.
[G] [G9] [C] [Cm7]
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
(For this thread, let’s just say “G9” is in the class “G7”.)
