And Your Bird Can Sing (take 2)

take 2)

[1,2,3,4]



You tell me that you've got everything you want

And your bird can sing

But you don't get me, you don't get me



You say you've seen seven wonders

And your bird is green

But you can't see me, you can't see me



[Sorry.

Ha ha!]



When your prized possessions start to wear you down

Look in my direction, I'll be round

Ha ha ha ha!



You tell me that you've heard every sound there is

And your bird can swim

But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

Wow!



When your prize is broken will it bring you down

You may be a-welcome, I'll be round, I'll be round



You tell me that you've got everything you want

And your bird can sing

But you don't get me, you don't get me



[OK, OK, OK,

OK, OK, OK, OK.

OK, quit.

That's it yeah.

That was it, wasn't it?]

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (takes 1, 2 and 5)

take 1)

[1,2,3, 1,2,3

Hold on, hold on.

I just gonna to raise this so it's nearer the bass strings than the top string.]



(take 2)

[Paul's broken at last broken,

at last Paul's broken at last a glass,

a glass he's broke today.

OK?

1, ... Oh, you ready, Macca?

1,2,3, 1,2,3]



(take 5)

Here I stand head in hand

Turn my face to the wall

If she's gone I can't go on

Feeling two-foot small



Everywhere people stare

Each and every day

I can see them laugh at me

And I hear them say



Hey you've got to hide your love away

Hey you've got to hide your love away



How can I even try

I can never win

Hearing them, seeing them

In the state I'm in



How could she say to me

Love will find a way

Gather round all you clowns

Let me hear you say



Hey you've got to hide your love away

Hey you've got to hide your love away

The Ballad Of John And Yoko

tanding 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

Honeymooning down by the Seine

Peter Brown called to say

"You can make it OK

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

Cating 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

And Your Bird Can Sing

ou tell me that you've got everything you want

And your bird can sing

But you don't get me, you don't get me



You say you've seen Seven Wonders

And your bird is green

But you can't see me, you can't see me



When your prized possessions start to wear you down

Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be round



When your bird is broken will it bring you down

You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round



You tell me that you've heard every sound there is

And your bird can swing

But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

She's A Woman (live at the BBC)

y love don't give me presents

I know that she's no peasant

Only ever has to give me love forever and forever

My love don't give me presents

Turn me on when I get lonely

People tell me that she's only

Foolin', I know she isn't



She don't give the boys the eye

She hates to see me cry

She is happy just to hear me say

That I will never leave her

She don't give the boys the eye

She will never make me jealous

Gives me all her time as well as lovin'

Don't ask me why



She's a woman who understands

She's a woman who loves her man



My love don't give me presents

I know that she's no peasant

Only ever has to give me love forever and forever

My love don't give me presents

Turn me on when I get lonely

People tell me that she's only

Foolin', I know she isn't

Oh, ooh



She's a woman who understands

She's a woman who loves her man



My love don't give me presents

I know that she's no peasant

Only ever has to give me love forever and forever

My love don't give me presents

Turn me on when I get lonely

People tell me that she's only

Foolin', I know she isn't



She's a woman, she's a woman

She's a woman, she's a woman

She's a woman, she's a woman

Woah! She's a woman, she's a woman

Ow! She's a woman (fade out)

One After 909 (naked version)

y baby says she's travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909



I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees (Yes I did)

You're only fooling around, you're only fooling around with me

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909



You got my bag, run to the station

Railman says you got the the wrong location

Pick up my bag, run right home

Then I find I got the number wrong



Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909, yeah



I got my bag, run to the station

Railman says you got the the wrong location, well

I got my bag, run right home

Then I find I got the number wrong



Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said we're travelling on the one after 90

You said we're travelling on the one after 90

Said we're travelling on the one after 909

Cry Baby Cry (take 1)

take 1)

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh



The king of Marigold was in the kitchen

Cooking breakfast for the queen

The queen was in the parlour

Playing piano for the children of the king



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



The king was in the garden

Picking flowers for a friend who came to play

The queen was in the playroom

Painting pictures for the childrens holiday



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling

And arriving late for tea

The duke was having problems

With a message at the local bird and bee



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table

For a séance in the dark

With voices out of nowhere

Put on specially by the children for a lark



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry cry cry cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

Eleanor Rigby

h, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people



Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been

Lives in a dream

Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door

Who is it for?



All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?



Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear

No one comes near

Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there

What does he care?



All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?



Ah, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people



Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name

Nobody came

Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave

No one was saved



All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)

Where do they all belong?

Real Love

ll my little plans and schemes

Lost like some forgotten dreams

Seems that all I really was doing

Was waiting for you



Just like little girls and boys

Playing with their little toys

Seems like all they really were doing

Was waiting for love



Don't need to be alone

No need to be alone

It's real love, it's real

Yes it's real love, it's real



From this moment on I know

Exactly where my life will go

Seems that all I really was doing

Was waiting for love



Don't need to be afraid

No need to be afraid

It's real love, it's real

Yes it's real love, it's real



Thought I'd been in love before

But in my heart, I wanted more

Seems like all I really was doing

Was waiting for you



Don't need to be alone

Don't need to be alone



It's real love, it's real

It's real love, it's real

Yes it's real love, it's real

It's real love, it's real

Yes it's real love, it's real

It's real love, it's real

Yes it's real love, it's real

It's real love, it's real

Rocky Raccoon (take 8)

take 8)

[He was a fool unto himself.



Rocky Raccoon.

Now Rocky Raccoon,

he was a fool unto himself and he would not swallow his foolish pride.

Mind you, he came from a little town in Minnesota.

It's not the kind of thing a young guy did

when a fellow stole his chick away from him.]

Now Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Rocky had come equipped with a gun

To shoot off the legs of his rival

His rival it seems had broken his dreams

By stealing the girl of his fancy

Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil

But everyone knew her as Nancy

Now she and her man who called himself Dan

Were in the next room at the hoe down

And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

He said Danny boy this is a showdown

But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot

And Rocky collapsed in the corner



Nah da da da...



The doctor walked in sminking of gin [Sminking?]

And proceeded to lie on the table

He's really sminking of gin

And he did it in the end [Poor doc.]



Meantime back on the table, yeah



The doctor said, "Rock, you met your match, son"

Rocky said, "it's only a scratch, son

I'll be better soon"

"You better be, better soon," said the doc

Come on son, gotta get hip

Gotta get up

Gotta get back to your gun

Gotta go back soon, Danny Boy



Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival



Da da da da...

That's the story of the Rocky Raccoon
