No reply

This happened once before
when I came to your door
no reply
they said it wasn't you
but I saw you peep through your window
I saw the lie, I saw the lie
I know that you saw me
as I looked up to your face.

I tried to telephone
they said you were not home
that's a lie
'cause I know where you've been
I saw you walk in your door
I nearly died, I nearly died
'cause you walked hand in hand
with another man in my place.

If I were you'd realise that I
love you more than any other guy
and I'll forgive the lies that I
heard before when you gave me no reply.John: voces, guitarra rítmica acústica, palmas.
Paul: armonía, bajo, palmas.
George: guitarra rítmica acústica, palmas.
Ringo: batería, palmas.

George Martin: piano.

I'm a loser

I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be.

Of all the love I have won or have lost
there is one love I should never have crossed
she was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end.

I'm a loser
and I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
and I'm not what I appear to be.

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
my tears are falling like rain from the sky
is it for her or myself that I cry.

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
and so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all.John: voz, guitarra rítmica acústica, armónica.
Paul: armonías, bajo.
George: guitarra.
Ringo: batería, pandereta.

Baby's in black

Oh dear, what can I do?
baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
tell me, oh what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
and though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.

I think of her, but she thinks only of him
and though it's only a whim, she thinks of him.

Oh how long will it take
till she sees the mistake she has made?John: voz, guitarra rítmica acústica.
Paul: voz, bajo.
George: guitarrra.
Ringo: batería.

Rock'n roll music

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
any old way you choose it
it's got a back beat, you can't lose it
any old time you use it
it's gotta be rock roll music
if you wanna dance with me.

I've got no kick against modern jazz
unless they try to play it too darn fast
and lose the beauty of the melody
until they sound just like a symphony.

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music.

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
so she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'.

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music.

way down South they had a jubilee
the jokey folks they had a jamboree
they're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
the folks dancin' there are all shook up.

And started playin' that that rock and roll music.

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
and In The Mood they take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
so keep a rockin' that piano.

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music.John: voz, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: bajo.
George: guitarra acústica.
Ringo: batería.

George Martin: piano.

I'll follow the sun

One day you'll look to see I've gone
for tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
some day you'll know I was the one
but tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

And now the time has come
and so my love I must go
and though I lose a friend
in the end you will know, oooh.

One day you'll find that I have gone
but tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.John: armonías, guitarra.
Paul: voz, bajo.
George: guitarra.
Ringo: batería.

When I'm walking beside her

I was lonely without her
can't stop thinking about her now.

Every little thing she does
she does for me, yeah
and you know the things she does
she does for me, oooh.

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go

there's nothing for me here so I will disappear
if she turns up while I'm gone please let me know.

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
there's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her.

I still love her
if I find her I'll be glad
I still love her.John: voz, guitarra acústica.

why should it be so much to ask of you
what you're doing to me?

I've been waiting here for you
wond'ring what you're gonna do
should you need a love that's true.
it's me.
