1. TWO OF US
(Lennon/McCartney)

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard earned pay.

You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home.

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're goin' home.

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall.

You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home.

You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead.

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun.

You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home.


2. DIG A PONY
(Lennon/McCartney)

I dig a pony.
Well, you can celebrate anything you want.
Yes, you can celebrate anything you want.

I do a road hog.
Well, you can penetrate any place you go.
Yes, you can penetrate any place you go.
I told you so, all I want is you.
Everything has got to be just like you want it to,
Because.

I pick a moon dog
Well, you can radiate everything you are.
Yes, you can radiate everything you are.
I told you so, all I want is you.
Everything has got to be just like you want it to,
Because.

I roll a stoney
Well, you can imitate everyone you know.
Yes, you can imitate everyone you know.
I told you so, all I want is you.
Everything has got to be just like you want it to.
Because.

I feel the wind blow
Well, you can indicate everything you see
Yes, you can indicate everything you see.

I dig a pony.
Well, you can syndicate any boat you row.
Yes, you can syndicate any boat you row.
I told you so, all I want is you.
Everything has got to be just like you want it to.
Because.


3. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
(Lennon/McCartney)

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.

Sounds of laughter, shades of love are ringing
Through my opened ears view inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
it calls me on and on across the universe.


4. I ME MINE
(Harrison)

All through the day
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
All through the night
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Now they're frightened of leaving it
Ev'ryone's weaving it
Coming on strong all the time
All through the day I me mine

I me me mine, I me me mine
I me me mine, I me me mine

All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
No one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day I me mine.


5. DIG IT
(Lennon/McCartney)

Like a rolling stone
A like a rolling stone
Like the FBI
and the CIA
And the BBC
BB King
And Doris Day
Matt Busby
Dig it, dig it, dig it
Dig it, dig it, dig it


6. LET IT BE
(Lennon/McCartney)

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.


7. MAGGIE MAE
(Lennon/McCartney)

Oh dirty Maggie Mae
they have taken her away
And she never walk down Lime Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found her
of robbing home a pounder
That dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae
To the port of Liverpool,
They returned her to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay.


8. I'VE GOT A FEELING
(Lennon/McCartney)

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Yeah, I've got a feeling.

Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And if you leave me I won't be late again
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah

All these years I've been wandering around
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you

Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine

Oh yeah, Oh yeah

Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down


9. ONE AFTER 909
(Lennon/McCartney)

My baby says she's travelling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I got my bag, run to the station
Railman says you've got the the wrong location
I've got my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrong

Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said we're travelling on the one after 90
I said we're travelling on the one after 90
I said we're travelling on the one after 909


10. THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
(Lennon/McCartney)

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before,
It always leads me here,
Lead me to your door.

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day,
Why leave me standing here,
Let me know the way.

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried,
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back to the long and winding road,
You left me standing here, a long long time ago,
Don't leave me waiting here,
Lead me to your door.

But still they lead me back to the long and winding road,
You left me standing here, a long long time ago,
Don't keep me waiting here,
Lead me to your door.


11. FOR YOU BLUE
(Harrison)

Because you're sweet and lovely, girl
I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl it's true
I love you more than ever, girl, I do

I want you in the morning, girl
I love you
I want you at the moment I feel blue
I'm living every moment, girl, for you

I've loved you from the moment
I saw you
You looked at me, that's all you had to do
I feel it now I hope you feel it too.


12. GET BACK
(Lennon/McCartney)

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
(get back Jojo, go home)

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back Loretta
Your mommy is waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes and her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
