1. YELLOW SUBMARINE
(Lennon/McCartney)

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life in the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine.

We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

And our friends are all on board
many more of them live next door
and the band begins to play.

As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine.


2. ONLY A NORTHERN SONG
(Harrison)

If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
He just wrote it like that.

When you're listening late at night
You may think the bands are not quite right
But they are
They just play it like that

It doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern Song.

It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
or how I fare or if my hair is brown
When it's only a Northern Song.

If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct
There's nobody there
And I told you there's no one there.


3. ALL TOGETHER NOW
(Lennon/McCartney)

One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more ?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, I love you.

A, B, C, D
Can I bring my friend to tea ?
E, F, G, H, I, J, I love you.

Sail the ship
Chop the tree
Skip the rope
Look at me.

All together now
(All together now)

Black, white, green, red
Can I take my friend to bed ?
Pink, brown, yellow, orange, and blue, I love you.


4. HEY BULLDOG
(Lennon/McCartney)

Sheep dog standing in the rain
Bull frog doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you're something special when you smile ?

Childlike no one understands
Jack knife in your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like to listen to you fears.

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely, you can talk to me.

Big man walking in the park
Wigwam frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know but you haven't got a clue.

Hey Bulldog


5. IT'S ALL TOO MUCH
(Harrison)

It's all too much It's all too much
When I look into your eyes, your love is there for me.
And the more I go inside the more there is to see.

It's all too much for me to take the love that's shining all around you
Everywhere it's what you make for us to take, it's all too much.

Floating down the stream of time from life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be.

It's all too much for me to take the love that's shining all around you.
All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece but not too much.

Sail me on a silver sun where I know that I'm free.
Show me that I'm everywhere and get me home for tea.

It's all too much for me to take, there's plenty there for everybody.
The more you give, the more you get, the more it is and it's too much.


6. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
(Lennon/McCartney)

(Love, Love, Love)

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game,
It's easy.

Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to feel in time,
It's easy.

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be,
It's easy.
