The Ballad of John and Yoko
(Lennon/McCartney)

E

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

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

E
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
E
Talking in our beds for a week.
E
The newspeople said, "say what you doing in bed?"
E
I said "we're only trying to get us some peace."
                         A
Christ you know it ain't easy
                         E
You know how hard it can be
                   B
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.

A
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
A
Giving all your clothes to charity,
A
Last night the wife said, 'Oh boy, when you're dead
    B
you don't take nothing with your soul. Think'

E
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
E
Eating chocolate cake in a bag.
E
The newspapers said, "she's going to his head,"
E
They look like two Gurus in drag."
                         A
Christ you know it ain't easy
                         E
You know how hard it can be
                   B
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.

E
Caught the early plane back to London
E
Fifty acorns tied in a sack.
E
The men from the press said, "we wish you success,
E
It's good to have the both of you back."
                         A
Christ you know it ain't easy
                         E
You know how hard it can be
                   B
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.
