Can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, love.

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'cause I don't care too much for money, and money can't buy me love.

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
can't buy me love, no no no, no.

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love.John: voz, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: voz, bajo.
George: armonías, guitarras.
Ringo: batería.previamente publicado en el album A hard day's night

I should have known better

I should have known better with a girl like you
that I would love everything that you do
and I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do.

Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be
this could only happen to me
can't you see, can't you see.

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
you're gonna say you love me too, oh
and when I ask you to be mine
you're gonna say you love me too.

So I should have realized a lot of things before
if this is love you've got to give me more
give me more, hey hey hey, give me more.John: voz solista, guitarra rítmica, armónica.
Paul: armonías, bajo.
George: armonías, guitarras.

Paperback writer

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
it took me years to write, will you take a look?
it's based on a novel by a man named Lear
and I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer
paperback writer.

It's the dirty story of a dirty man
and his clinging wife doesn't understand
his son is working for the Daily Mail
it's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer
paperback writer.

Paperback writer.

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the style
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer
paperback writer.

If you really like it you can have the rights
it could make a million for you overnight
if you must return it, you can send it here
but I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer

Rain

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
they might as well be dead
if the rain comes, if the rain comes.

When the sun shines they slip into the shade
and drink their lemonade
when the sun shines, when the sun shines.

Rain, I don't mind, shine, the weather's fine.


I can show you that when it starts to rain
everything's the same
I can show you, I can show you.

Rain, I don't mind, shine, the weather's fine.

Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines
it's just a state of mind?
can you hear me, can you hear me?John: voz, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: coros, bajo.
George: coros, guitarra.
Ringo: batería, pandereta.

Lady Madonna

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
wonder how you manage to make ends meet
who finds the money? When you pay the rent?
did you think that money was Heaven sent?
friday night arrives without a suitcase
sunday morning creep in like a nun
monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
see how they run.

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
wonder how you manage to feed the rest.

See how they run.

Lady Madonna, lying on the bed
listen to the music playing in your head.
tuesday afternoon is never ending
wednesday morning papers didn't come
thursday night you stockings needed mending
see how they run.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
wonder how you manage to make ends meet.John: coros, guitarra, palmas.
Paul: voz, piano, bajo, palmas.
George: coros, guitarra, palmas.
Ringo: batería, palmas.

Revolution

You 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 in
don't you know it's gonna be alright.

You say you got a real solution, well you know
we don't all 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.

You say you'll change the constitution, well you know
we all love to change your head
you tell me it's the institution, well you know
you better free your mind insteadbut if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
don't you know it's gonna be alright.John: voz, guitarra, palmas.
Paul: bajo, palmas.
George: guitarra, palmas.
Ringo: batería.

Hey Jude

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
remember to let her into your heart
then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
you were made to go out and get her
the minute you let her under your skin
then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
don't carry the world upon your shoulders
for well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
by making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down
you have found her, now go and get her
remember to let her into your heart
then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
you're waiting for someone to perform with
and don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
the movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
remember to let her under your skin
then you'll begin to make it better.John: coros, guitarra acústica.
Paul: voz, bajo, piano.
George: coros, guitarra.
Ringo: coros, batería, pandereta.

Old brown shoe

I want a love that's right but right is only half of what's wrong
I want a short haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long
now I'm stepping out this old brown shoe, baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now, I'm telling you.

You know you pick me up from where some try to drag me down
and when I see your smile replace every thoughtless frown
got me escaping from this zoo, baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you.

If I grow up I'll be a singer wearing rings on every finger
not worrying what they or you say I'll live and love and maybe someday
who knows, baby, you may comfort me.

I may appear to be imperfect, my love is something you can't reject
I'm changing faster than the weather if you and me should get together
who knows, baby, you may comfort me.

I want that love of yours, to miss that love is something I'd hate
I'll make an early start, I'm making sure that I'm not late
for you sweet top lip I'm in the queue, baby, I'm in love with you
I'm so glad you came here, it won't be the same now when I'm with you.John: coros.
Paul: coros, piano.
George: voz, guitarras, órgano, bajo.
Ringo: batería.

Don't let me down

Don't let me down.
Nobody ever loved me like she does
oh, she does, yeah, she does
and if somebody loved me like she do me
oh, she do me, yes, she does

Don't let me down.

I'm in love for the first time
don't you know it's gonna last
it's a love that lasts forever
it's a love that had no past (Seeking past).

Don't let me down.

And from the first time that she really done me
oh, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
oh, she done me, she done me good.

Don't let me down.John: voz, guitarra rítmica.
Paul: coros, bajo.
George: coros, guitarra.
Ringo: batería.

Billy Preston: piano eléctrico.

The ballad of John and Yoko

Standing in the dock at Southampton
trying to get to Holland or France
the man in the mac said, "You've got to go back"
you know they didn't even give us a chance.

Christ you know it ain't easy
you know how hard it can be
the way things are going
they're going to crucify me.

Finally made the plane into Paris
honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say
"you can make it OK
you can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".

Christ you know it ain't easy
you know how hard it can be
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
the newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace".

Christ you know it ain't easy
you know how hard it can be
the way things are going
they're going to crucify me.

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
you don't take nothing with you
but your soul, think!".

Made a lightning trip to Vienna
cating chocolate cake in a bag
the newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
they look just like two gurus in drag"

Christ you know it ain't easy
you know how hard it can be
the way things are going
they're going to crucify me.

Caught an early plane back to London
fifty acorns tied in a sack
the men from the press said, "We wish you success
it's good to have the both of you back"

Christ you know it ain't easy
you know how hard it can be
the way things are going
they're going to crucify me.John: voz, guitarras, percusión.
Paul: coros, bajo, batería, piano, maracas.
