The Ballad Of John And Yoko

1. Standing in the dock at Southampton

trying to get to Holland or France

C7

the man in the mac said you've got to go back

you know they didn't even give us a chance.

R: Christ you know it ain't easy

you know how hard it can be

G7

the way things are going

they're gonna crucify me.

2. Finelly 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.

3. Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton

talking in our beds for a week

the newspapers said what are you doing in bed

I said we're only trying to get us some peace.

4. 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.

5. Made a lightning trip to Vienna

eating chocolate cake in a bag

the newspapers said, she's gone to his head

they look just like two gurus in drag.

6. Caught the 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.

R: Christ you know it ain't easy...

The way things are going

they're gonna crucify me.
