Day Tripper

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocals: Lennon and McCartney 


Got a good reason for taking the easy way out
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now
She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yea
It took me so long to find out, and I found out

She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there
She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there now
She was a day tripper, a one way ticket yea
It took me so long to find out, and I found out

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands
Tried to please her, she only played one night stands
 now
She was a day tripper, a Sunday driver yea
It took me so long to find out, and I found out

Day tripper
Day tripper yea

We Can Work It Out

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocals: Lennon and McCartney


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

Paperback Writer

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney

   
Paperback 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

It's the dirty story of a dirty man
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
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the 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 it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback writer

Paperback writer - paperback writer
Paperback writer - paperback writer

Rain

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon


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 rain comes down)
Everything's the same
(When the rain comes 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 rains and shines)
It's just a state of mind
(When the rains and shines)
Can you hear me, can you hear me?

Lady Madonna

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: 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
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)  Lead vocal: Harrison


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)  Lead vocal: McCartney


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

Na na na na na na, na na na, hey Jude 
(repeat 16 times and fade out)

Revolution

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon


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)  Lead vocal: McCartney


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, yea 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 back home Loretta
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Don't Let Me Down

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon


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


The Ballad Of John And Yoko

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon


Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac said, "You've got to go 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)  Lead vocal: Harrison


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

Across The Universe

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon


Words are flowing out like endless rain into a 
paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the 
universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through 
my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva 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 deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of love are 
Ringing through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Let It Be

(Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney

 
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
Let it be, let it be
Wisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Wisper words of wisdom, 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
