The Ballad Of John And Yoko
1969
E
Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France
E7
The man in the mac said, you gotta go back
You know they didn't even give us a chance
A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
E
You know how hard it can be
B7
The way things are going
E
They're gonna 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...
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers said what you doing in bed
I said we're only trying to get us some peace
Christ, you know it ain't easy...
A
Saving all your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said oh boy when you're dead
B7
You don't take nothing with you but your soul
B
Think!
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"
Christ, you know it ain't easy...
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press say "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back"
Christ, you know it ain't easy...
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
Ooh she loved me, yes she does
Don't let me down...
E
I'm in love for the first time
B
Don't you know it's gonna last
B7
It's a love that lasts forever
E
It's a love that had no past
Don't let me down...

If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct, there's nobody there
Instrumental chorus, ending with
D
A
E
And I told you there's no one there
Fade out over verse chords
If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not, I just wrote it like that
When you listen late at night
You may feel the words are not quite right
But they are, I just wrote them myself
And 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 off and out of key
Then you're right 'cause I sing it myself

While you see it your way?
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way?
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Yes it is
Scarlet were the clothes she wore
Everybody knows I'm sure
I would remember all the things we planned
Understand, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is

Oh, yes it is, yeah
Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the colour that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is
I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it's my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah
Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the colour that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
