We Can Work It Out (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Try to see it my way,

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't 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 you're saying.

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.

Think of what I'm 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 there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend.

I have always thought that it's 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

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend.

I have always thought that it's 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

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

And his clinging wife doesn't understand.

His son is working for the Daily Mail,

It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,

Paperback writer.

Paperback writer

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few,

Rain (Lennon/McCartney) topo

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.

They might as well be dead.

If the rain comes, if the rain comes.

When the sun shines they slip into the shade

(When the sun shines down.)

And drink their lemonade.

(When the sun shines down.)

When the sun shines, when the sun shines.

Rain, I don't mind.

Shine, the weather's fine.

I can show you that when it starts to rain,

(When the sun shines down.)

Everything's the same.

(When the sun shines down.)

I can show you, I can show you.

Rain, I don't mind.

Shine, the weather's fine.

Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,

(When the sun shines down.)

It's just a state of mind?

(When the sun shines down.)

Can you hear me, can you hear me?

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.

Lady Madonna topo

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.

Monday's 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 didn't come.

Thursday night you stockings needed mending.

See how they run.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet.

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

The Inner Light (Harrison) topo

Without going out of my door

I can know all things of 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 of 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) topo

Hey Jude, don't 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, don't 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,

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't 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,

You're waiting for someone to perform with.

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,

The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her under your skin,

Then you'll begin to make it

Better better better better better better, oh.

Da da da da da da, da da da, hey Jude...

Revolution (Lennon/McCartney) topo

You say you want a revolution

Well you know

We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution

Well you know

We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction

Don't you know you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution

Well you know

We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well you know

We're doing what we can

But when you want money for people with minds that hate

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution

Well you know

We all want to change your head

You tell me it's the institution

Well you know

You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao

You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know know it's gonna be alright

Alright Alright

Get Back (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner

But he knew it wouldn't 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 she's 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 Loretta

Your mother's waiting for you

Wearing her high-heel shoes

And her low-neck sweater

Get on home Loretta

Get back, get back.

Get back to where you once belonged.

Don't Let Me Down (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Don't let me down, don't 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.

Don't let me down, don't let me down.

I'm in love for the first time.

Don't you know it's gonna last.

It's a love that lasts forever,

It's a love that had no past.

Don't let me down, don't 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.

Don't let me down, don't let me down.

The Ballad of John And Yoko (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Standing in the dock at Southampton,

Trying to get to Holland or France.

The man in the mac said, "You've got to turn back".

You know they didn't even give us a chance.

Christ you know it ain't easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to 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 ain't easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to 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, "We're only trying to get us some peace".

Christ you know it ain't easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

Saving up your money for a rainy day,

Giving all your clothes to charity.

Last night the wife said,

"Oh boy, when you're dead

You don't take nothing with you

But your soul - think!"

Made a lightning trip to Vienna,

eating chocolate cake in a bag.

The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head,

They look just like two gurus in drag".

Christ you know it ain't easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

Caught an early plane back to London.

Fifty acorns tied in a sack.

The men from the press said, "We wish you success,

It's good to have the both of you back".

Christ you know it ain't easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

Old Brown Shoe (Harrison) topo

I want a love that's right but right is only half of what's wrong.

I want a short haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long.

Now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe, baby, I'm in love with you.

I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now, I'm telling you.

You know you pick me up from where some try to drag me down

And when I see your smile replace every thoughtless frown.

Got me escaping from this zoo, baby, I'm in love with you.

I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you.

If I grow up I'll be a singer wearing rings on every finger.

Not worrying what they or you say I'll live and love and maybe someday

Who knows, baby, you may comfort me.

I may appear to be imperfect, my love is something you can't reject.

I'm changing faster than the weather if you and me should get together

Who knows, baby, you may comfort me.

That love of your, to miss that love is something I'd hate.

I'll make an early start, I'm making sure that I'm not late.

For you sweet top lip I'm in the queue, baby, I'm in love with you.

I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you.

Across The Universe (Lennon/McCartney) topo

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 de va om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's 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 blindly as they make their way

Across the universe

Jai guru de va om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's 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 de va om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Let it Be (Lennon/McCartney) topo

When I find myself in times of trouble

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.

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. 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 on 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.

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be,

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
