THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO
(Lennon-McCartney)
1969
E
Standing in the dock at Southampton trying to get to Holland or France
E7
The man in the mac said you gotta go back
You know they didn’t even give us a chance
A E
Christ you know it ain’t easy you know how hard it can be
B7 E
The way things are going they’re going to crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris honeymooning down by the Seine
E7
Peter Brown called to say you can make it okay
You can get married in Gilbraltar near Spain
A E
Christ you know it ain’t easy you know how hard it can be
B7 E
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
E7
The news people said, say what’re you doing in bed
I said we’re only trying to get us some peace
A E
Christ you know it ain’t easy you know how hard it can be
B7 E
The way things are going they’re going to crucify me
A
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
B7
You don’t take nothing with you but your soul think
E
Made a lightning trip to Vienna eating chocolate cake in a bag
E7
The newspapers said, she’s gone to his head
They look like just two gurus in drag
A E
Christ you know it ain’t easy you know how hard it can be
B7 E
The way things are going they’re going to crucify me
Caught the early plane back to London fifty acorns tied in a sack
E7
The men from the press said, we wish you success
It’s good to have the both of you back
A E
Christ you know it ain’t easy you know how hard it can be
B7 E
The way things are going they’re going to crucify me
B7 E B7 E E6
The way things are going they’re going to crucify me (
