TAXMAN
Harrison
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
(If you drive a car, car)
I'll tax the street
(If you try to sit, sit)
I'll tax your seat
(If you get too cold, cold)
I'll tax the heat
(If you take a walk, walk)
I'll tax your feet
Taxman
Don't ask me what I want it for
(Ah, ah, Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Ah, ah, Mr. Heath)
'cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
(Taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes
(Taxman)
'cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me

ELEANOR RIGBY
Lennon-McCartney
Ah, 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 a 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
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

I'M ONLY SLEEPING
Lennon-McCartney
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream
Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
Everydody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world
Going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world
Going by my window
Taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream
Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

LOVE YOU TO
Harrison
Each day just goes so fast
I turn around, it's past
You don't get time
To hang a sign on me
Love me while you can
Or I'll get a plan
A lifetime is so short
A new one can't be bought
But what you've got
Means such a lot to me
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs
There's people standing 'round
Who'll screw you in the ground
They'll fill you in
With all their sins, you'll see
I'll make love to you
If you want me to

HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE
Lennon-McCartney
To lead a better life
I need, my love, to be here
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can
Deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking
But she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes
And hoping I'm always there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes
And hoping I'm always there
I will be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

YELLOW SUBMARINE
Lennon-McCartney
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed out to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

SHE SAID SHE SAID
Lennon-McCartney
She said "I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad"
And she's making me feel
Like I've never been born
I said "who put all those things in your head
Things that make me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel
Like I've never been born"
She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "no, no, no, you're wrong
When I was a boy everything was right"
Everything was right
I said "even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'cause you're making me feel
Like I've never been born"
She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "no, no, no, you're wrong
When I was a boy everything was right"
Everything was right
I said "even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'cause you're making me feel
Like I've never been born"
She said
She said (I know what it's like to be dead)
She said (I know what it's like to be dead)...

GOOD DAY SUNSHINE
Lennon-McCartney
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
I need to laugh
And when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good
In a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
We take a walk
The sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Then we lie
Beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good
She knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING
Lennon-McCartney
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
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 is green
But you can't hear me
You can't hear me

FOR NO ONE
Lennon-McCartney
Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness
Linger on when she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel
She has to hurry, she no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want to her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she says
Her love is dead, you think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone
But now he's gone, she doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said
Will fill your head, you won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

DR. ROBERT
Lennon-McCartney
Ring, my friend, I said you'd call Dr. Robert
Day or night he'll be there
Anytime at all, Dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, you're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Dr. Robert
If you're down he'll make you up, Dr. Robert
Take a drink from his special cup, Dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, he's a man you must believe
Helping everyone in need
No one can succeed like Dr. Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Dr. Robert
My friend works for the National Health, Dr. Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself with Dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, you're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Dr. Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Dr. Robert
Ring, my friend, I said you'd call Dr. Robert

I WANT TO TELL YOU
Harrison
I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words, they seem to slip away
When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's alright
I'll make you maybe next time around
But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time
Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time
I've got time
I've got time ...

GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE
Lennon-McCartney
I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind, there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life?
I didn't run, you didn't lie
I knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I have told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together everyday
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I wanna stay there
If I am true I'll never leave
And if I do I'll know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life

TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS
Lennon-McCartney
Turn off your mind
Relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts
Surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being, it is being
That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to
The colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving
Or play the game
"existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning ...
