Give Peace a Chance.

(Lennon/McCartney)

Ev'rybody's talking about

Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism

This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m. 

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance 

C'mon

Ev'rybody's talking about Ministers,

Sinisters, Banisters and canisters

Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Pop eyes,

And bye bye, bye byes. 

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Instant Karma! (We All Shine on).

(Lennon)

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you right on the head

You better get yourself together

Pretty soon you're gonna be dead

What in the world you thinking of

Laughing in the face of love

What on earth you tryin' to do

It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna look you right in the face

Better get yourself together darlin'

Join the human race

How in the world you gonna see

Laughin' at fools like me

Who in the hell d'you think you are

A super star

Well, right you are

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Well we all shine on

Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you off your feet

Better recognize your brothers

Ev'ryone you meet

Why in the world are we here

Surely not to live in pain and fear

Why on earth are you there

When you're ev'rywhere

Come and get your share

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Yeah we all shine on

Come on and on and on on on

Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Yeah we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun.

Power to the People.

(Lennon)

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people, right on 

Say you want a revolution

We better get on right away

Well you get on your feet

And out on the street 

Singing power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people, right on 

A million workers working for nothing

You better give 'em what they really own

We got to put you down

When we come into town 

Singing power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people, right on 

I gotta ask you comrades and brothers

How do you treat you own woman back home

She got to be herself

So she can free herself 

Singing power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people, right on

Now, now, now, now 

Oh well, power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people, right on 

Yeah, power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people, right on 

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people, right on.

Whatever Gets You Thru the Night.

(Lennon)

Whatever gets you through the night 'salright, 'salright

It's your money or life 'salright, 'salright

Don't need a sword to cut through flowers oh no, oh no

Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright

Do it wrong or do it right 'salright, 'salright

Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me

I won't do you no harm

Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me

Come on listen, listen

Whatever gets you to the light 'salright, 'salright

Out the blue or out of sight 'salright, 'salright

Don't need a gun to blow your mind oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me

I won't do you no harm

Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me

Come on listen, listen.

No. 9 Dream.

(Lennon)

So long ago

Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?

I know, yes I know

Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street

Thru the heat whispered trees

I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)

Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Dream, dream away

Magic in the air, was magic in the air?

I believe, yes I believe

More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound

Thru the mirror go round, round

I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)

Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold

The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Mind Games.

(Lennon)

We're playing those mind games together

Pushing the barriers planting seeds

Playing the mind guerrilla

Chanting the Mantra peace on earth

We all been playing those mind games forever

Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil

Doing the mind guerrilla

Some call it magic the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure

Love is a flower you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together

Faith in the future out of the now

You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas

Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind

Yeah we're playing those mind games together

Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure

Yes is surrender you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together

Doing the ritual dance in the sun

Millions of mind guerrillas

Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel

Keep on playing those mind games together

Raising the spirit of peace and love

(I want you to make love, not war

I know you've heard it before).

Love.

(Lennon)

Love is real, real is love

Love is feeling, feeling love

Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love

Love is reaching, reaching love

Love is asking to be loved

Love is you

You and me

Love is knowing

We can be

Love is free, free is love

Love is living, living love

Love is needed to be loved.

Imagine.

(Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religon too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

In a brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say i'm a dreamer

But i'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one.

Jealous Guy.

(Lennon)

I was dreaming of a past

And my heart was beating fast

I began to lose control

I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt

I'm sorry that i made you cry

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling inscure

You might not love me anymore

I was shivering inside

I was shivering inside

I was trying to catch your eyes

Thought that you was trying to hide

I was swallowing my pain

I was swallowing my pain.

(Just Like) Starting Over.

(Lennon)

Our life together is so precious together, 

We have grown - we have grown, 

Although our love is still special, 

Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone,

It's been so long since we took the time, 

No-one's to blame, 

I know time flies so quikly, 

But when I see you darling, 

It's like we both are falling in love again, 

It'll be just like starting over - starting over,

Everyday we used to make it love, 

Why can't we be making love nice and easy, 

It's time to spread our wing's and fly, 

Don't let another day go by my love, 

It'll be just like starting over - starting over,

Why don't we take off alone, 

Take a trip far, far away, 

We'll be together on our own again, 

Like we used to in the early days, 

Well, well, well darling,

It's been so long since we took the time, 

No-one's to blame, 

I know time flies so quikly, 

But when I see you darling, 

It's like we both are falling in love again, 

It'll be just like starting over - starting over,

Everyday we used to make it love, 

Why can't we be making love nice and easy, 

It's time to spread our wing's and fly, 

Don't let another day go by my love, 

It'll be just like starting over - starting over,

Our life together is so precious together, 

We have grown - we have grown, 

Although our love is still special, 

Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone.

Woman.

(Lennon)

Woman I can hardly express,

My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,

After all I'm forever in your debt,

And woman I will try to express,

My inner feelings and thankfullness,

For showing me the meaning of succsess,

Ooooh well, well...

Ooooh well, well...

Woman I know you understand

The little child inside the man,

Please remember my life is in your hands,

And woman hold me close to your heart,

However, distant don't keep us apart,

After all it is written in the stars,

Ooooh well, well...

Ooooh well, well...

Woman please let me explain, 

I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain, 

So let me tell you again and again and again, 

I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, 

I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, 

I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,

I love you (yeah, yeah)...

I'm Losing You.

(Lennon)

Here in some stranger's room, 

Late in the afternoon, 

What am I doing here at all? 

Ain't no doubt about it, 

I'm losing you,

Somehow the wires have crossed, 

Communication's lost, 

Can't even get you on the telephone, 

Just got to shout about it, 

I'm losing you,

Here in the valley of indecision, 

I don't know what to do, 

I feel you sliping away, 

I feel you sliping away, 

I'm losing you, 

I'm losing you,

You say your not getting enough, 

But I remind you of all that bad stuff, 

So waht the hell am I supposed to do? 

Just put a bandaid on it? 

And stop the bleeding now, 

Stop the bleeding now,

I know I hurt you then, 

But that was way back when, 

And well, do you still have to carrey that cross? 

Don't want to hear about it, 

I'm losing you, 

I'm losing you.

Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy).

(Lennon)

Close your eyes, 

Have no fear, 

The monsters gone, 

He's on the run and your daddy's here, 

Beautiful, 

Beautiful, beautiful, 

Beautiful Boy, 

Before you go to sleep, 

Say a little prayer, 

Every day in every way, 

It's getting better and better, 

Beautiful, 

Beautiful, beautiful, 

Beautiful Boy, 

Out on the ocean sailing away, 

I can hardly wait, 

To see you to come of age, 

But I guess we'll both, 

Just have to be patient, 

Yes it's a long way to go, 

But in the meantime, 

Before you cross the street, 

Take my hand, 

Life is just what happens to you, 

While your busy making other plans, 

Beautiful, 

Beautiful, beautiful, 

Beautiful Boy, 

Darling, 

Darling, 

Darling Sean.

Watching the Wheels.

(Lennon)

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing, 

Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin, 

When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange, 

Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away, 

Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me, 

When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall, 

Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, 

I really love to watch them roll, 

No longer riding on the merry-go-round, 

I just had to let it go,

People asking questions lost in confusion, 

Well I tell them there's no problem, 

Only solutions, 

Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind, 

I tell them there's no hurry... 

I'm just sitting here doing time,

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, 

I really love to watch them roll, 

No longer riding on the merry-go-round, 

I just had to let it go.

Dear Yoko.

(Lennon)

Even after all these years,

I miss you when your not here,

I wish you were here my dear Yoko,

Even if it's just a day,

I miss you when your away,

I wish you were here today dear Yoko,

Even if it's just one night,

I miss you and it don't feel right,

I wish you were here tonight dear Yoko,

Even if it's just an hour,

I wilt just like a fading flower,

Ain't nothing in the world like our love dear Yoko,

Oh Yoko!

I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,

Oh Yoko!

I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,

Even when I'm miles at sea,

And nowhere is the place to be,

Your spirit's watching over me dear Yoko,

Even when I watch T.V.

There's hole where your supposed to be,

There's nobody lying next to me,

Oh Yoko!

I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,

Oh Yoko!

I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,

Even after all this time,

I miss you like the sun don't shine,

Without you I'm a one track mind dear Yoko,

After all is really said and done,

The two of us are really one,

The goddess really smiled upon our love dear Yoko.
