WE CAN WORK IT OUT
( Lennon-McCartney )
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I canīt go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out, we can work it out.
Think of what Iīm saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that itīs alright
Think of what Iīm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out, we can work it out.
Life is very short, and thereīs no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that itīs a crime
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
Thereīs no chance that we may fall apart before to long
We can work it out, we can work it out.

PAPERBACK WRITER
( Lennon-McCartney )
Paperback writer - writer - writer.
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
Based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer.
Itīs the dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesnīt understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
Itīs a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer - writer - writer.
Itīs a thousand pages, give or take a few
Iīll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you need a style
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer.
If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer - writer - writer.
RAIN
( Lennon-McCartney )
If the rain comes they run and hide
their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
Whe the sun shines they slip into the shade
And drink their lemonade
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.
Rain, I donīt mind
Shine, the weatherīs fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain
Everythingīs the same
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I donīt mind
Shine, the weatherīs fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines
Itīs just a state of mind?
Can you hear me, can you hear me?

LADY MADONNA
( Lennon-McCartney )
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money? When you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creep in like a nun
Mondayīs child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run.
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonder how you manage to feed the rest.
See how they run.
Lady Madonna, Lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head.
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didnīt come
Thursday night you stocking needed mending
See how they run.
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.
THE INNER LIGHT
( Harrison )
Without going out of my door
I can know all things on earth
With out looking out of my window
I could know the ways of heaven
The farther one travels
The less one knows
The less one really knows.
Without going out of my door
You can know all things on earth
With out looking out of my window
You could know the ways of heaven
The farther one travels
The less one knows
The less one really knows.
Arrive without travelling
See all without looking
Do all without doing
HEY JUDE
( Lennon-McCartney )
Hey Jude, donīt make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
Hey Jude, donīt be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Donīt carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that itīs a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
Hey Jude, donīt let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
Youīre waiting for someone to perform with
And donīt you know that itīs just you, hey Jude, youīll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey Jude, donīt make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
Better better better better oh!
Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude...
REVOLUTION
( Lennon-McCartney )
You say you wanna revolution, well

We all wanna change the world
You tell me that its evolution, well you know
We all wanna change the world.
But when you talk about destruction
Dont you know that you can count me out
Dont you know its gonna be alright
Alright, alright.
You say you got a real solution, well you know
Wed all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution, well you know
We are doing what we can.
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Dont you know its gonna be alright
Alright, alright.
You say youll change the constitution, well you know
We all wanna change your head
You tell me its the institution, well you know

Alright, alright.
Alright! Alright!

Alright!
Alright! Alright! Alright!
GET BACK
( Lennon-McCartney )
Jojo was a man who though he was a
loner
But he knew it wouldnīt last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo, go home.
Get back, get back, back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo.
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say sheīs got it coming
But she gets it while she can.
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta, go home.
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo.
Get Back, Loretta
You mommy is waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater, Get back home, Loretta.
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
DONīT LET ME DOWN
( Lennon-McCartney )
Donīt let me down, donīt let me
down
Donīt let me down, donīt let me down.
Nobody ever loved me like she does
Oo, she does, yeh, she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me
Oo, she do me, yes, she does.
Donīt let me down, donīt let me down
Donīt let me down, donīt let me down.
Iīm in love for the first time
Donīt you know itīs gonna last
Itīs a love that lasts forever
Itīs love that had no past.
Donīt let me down, donīt let me down
Donīt let me down, donīt let me down.
And from the first time that she really done me
Oo, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oo, she done me, she done me good.
Donīt let me down, donīt let me down
Donīt let me down, donīt let me down.
THE BALLAD OF JOHN
AND YOKO
( Lennon-McCartney )
Standing in the dock at Shouthamptom
Trying to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac said, ' Youīve got to turn back'
You know they didnīt even give us a chance.
Christ, you know it ainīt easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyīre gonna crucify me.
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honey mooning down by the Seine
Peter brown called to say, 'You can make it O.K.
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain'.
Christ, you know it ainīt easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyīre gonna crucify me.
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers said, 'Say what you doing in bed?'
I said, 'Weīve only trying to get us some peace'.
Christ, you know it ainīt easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Theyīre gonna crucify me.
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to the charity
Last night the wife said, 'Oh boy, when youīre dead
You donīt take nothing with you but your soul - think!'
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspapers said, 'Sheīs gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag'.
Christ, you know it ainīt easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going theyīre gonna crucify me
The way things are going theyīre gonna crucify me.
OLD BROWN SHOE
( Harrison )
I want a love thatīs right but
right is only half of whatīs wrong
I want a short haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long
Now Iīm stepping out this old brown shoe, baby Iīm in love with you
Iīm so glad you came here, it wonīt be the same, Iīm telling you.
You know you pick me up from where some try to drag me
down
And when I see your smile replac every thoughtless frown
Got me escaping from this zoo, baby Iīm in love with you
Iīm so glad you came here, it wonīt be the same, Iīm telling you.
If I grow up Iīll be a singer wearing rings on every
finger
Not worrying what they or you say
Iīll live and love and maybe someday
Who knows, baby, you may comfort me.
I may appear to be imperfect, my love is
something you canīt reject
Iīm changing faster than the weather
If you and me should get together
Who knows, baby, you may comfort me.
The love of your, to miss that love is something Iīd hate
Iīll make and early start, Iīm making sure that Iīm not late
For you sweet top lip Iīm in the queue, baby Iīm in love with you
Iīm so glad you came here, it wonīt be the same, Iīm telling you
Iīm so glad you came here, it wonīt be the same, Iīm telling you.
ACROSS THE UNVERSE
( Lennon-McCartney )
Words are flowing out like endless
rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru Dev a Om
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a
million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindy as they make their way across the universe.
Jai Guru Dev a Om
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth
Are ringing through my open views
Inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe.
Jai Guru Dev a Om
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world
Nothingīs gonna change my world.
Jai Guru Dev a... Jai Guru Dev a...
Jai Guru Dev a... Jai Guru Dev a...
LET IT BE
( Lennon-McCartney )
When I find myself in times of
troubles
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
