(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
(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
(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
(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
