BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO

The Beatles

[E] Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland Or France
The [E7] Man in the mac said you gotta go back
You know they didn't even give us a chance
Christ, you know it ain't [A] easy
You know how hard it can [E] be
The way things are [B7] going, they're gonna crucify [E] me.

[E] Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter [E7] Brown called to say you can make it okay
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain
Christ, you know it ain't [A] easy
You know how hard it can [E] be
The way things are [B7] going, they're gonna crucify [E] me.

Drove from [E] Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The [E7] newspapers said What you doing in bed
I said we're only trying to get us some peace,
Christ, you know it ain't [A] easy
You know how hard it can [E] be
The way things are [B7] going, they're gonna crucify [E] me.

[A] Saving all your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
[B7] Last night the wife said Oh boy when youre dead
You [B] don't take nothing with you but your soul
[E] Think!

[E] Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The [E7] newspapers said, She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag
Christ, you know it ain't [A] easy
You know how hard it can [E] be
The way things are [B7] going, they're gonna crucify [E] me.

[E] Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
The [E7] men from the press said, We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back
Christ, you know it ain' [A] easy
You know how hard it can [E] be
The way things are [B7] going, they're gonna crucify [E] me.
