Deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon last night

I'll get you a big pink teddy bear

Oh, thank you, mommy

And be a good boy, John

And a train set

And a man on the moon

And dance on the moon

And ice cream moon then

That's right

And lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and lots

Only A Northern Song

f you're listening to this song

You may think the chords are going wrong

But they're not

He just wrote it like that



When you're listening late at night

You may think the band are not quite right

But they are

They just play it like that



It doesn't really matter what chords I play

What words I say or time of day it is

As it's only a Northern song



It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear

Or how I fare or if my hair is brown

When it's only a Northern song



If you think the harmony

Is a little dark and out of key

You're correct

There's nobody there



And I told you there's no one there

Polythene Pam

ell you should see Polythene Pam

She's so good-looking but she looks like a man

Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag

Yes you should see Polythene Pam

Yeah yeah yeah



Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt

She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt

She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"

Yes you could say she was attractively built

Yeah yeah yeah

Cry Baby Cry

ry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better



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 cry cry baby

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

Cry baby cry



Cry cry cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

Revolution

ou 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 don't love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well you know

We're doing what we can

But if 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, al...



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



Alright, alright

Alright, alright

Alright, alright

Alright, alright

Across The Universe (wildlife version)

ords 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

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world



Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

They 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

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world



Sounds of laughter shades of live are ringing through my open ears

Inciting and inviting me

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns

It calls me on and on, across the universe

Jai Guru Deva OM



Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world



Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva

Yer Blues

2,3]



Yes I'm lonely wanna die

Yes I'm lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why



In the morning wanna die

In the evening wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why



My mother was of the sky

My father was of the earth

But I am of the universe

And you know what it's worth

I'm lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why



The eagle picks my eye

The worm he licks my bone

I feel so suicidal

Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones

Lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why



Black cloud crossed my mind

Blue mist round my soul

Feel so suicidal

Even hate my rock 'n' roll

Wanna die yeah wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (takes 6, 7 and 8)

take 6 for basic track,

take 7 for the tamboura

and take 8 for chorus vocals)

Picture yourself in a boat on a river

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes



Cellophane flowers of yellow and green

Towering over your head

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes

And she's gone



Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh...



Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain

Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies

Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers

That grow so incredibly high



Newpaper taxis appear on the shore

Waiting to take you away

Climb in the back with your head in the clouds

And you're gone



Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh...



Picture yourself on a train in a station

With plasticine porters with looking glass ties

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle

The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes



Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh...

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds (fade out)

Let It Be (outtake)

Are we supposed to giggle in the solo?



Yeah.



OK.



This is gonna knock you out, boy.]



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

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be



And all 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 for them will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Oh let it be, let it be

Ah let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Yeah let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be yeah



Yeah



Let it be, and let it be

Ah let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be yeah

Her Majesty

er Majesty's a pretty nice girl

But she doesn't have a lot to say

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl

But she changes from day to day



I want to tell her that I love her a lot

But I gotta get a bellyful of wine

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl

Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeah

Someday I'm going to make her mine

What You're Doing

ook what you're doing, I'm feeling blue and lonely

Would it be too much to ask you

What you're doing to me?



You got me running and there's no fun in it

Why should it be so much to ask of you

What you're doing to me?



I've been waiting here for you

Wondering what you're gonna do

Should you need a love that's true

It's me



Please stop your lying, you've got me crying girl

Why should it be so much to ask of you

What you're doing to me?
