    Something

    (Harrison)  Lead vocal: Harrison
    
    
    Something in the way she moves
    Attracts me like no other lover
    Something in the way she woos me
    
    I don't want to leave her now
    You know I believe her now
    
    Somewhere in her smile she knows
    That I don't need no other lover
    Something in her style that shows me
    
    Don't want to leave her now
    You know I believe her now
    
    You're asking me will my love grow
    I don't know, I don't know
    You stick around now it may show
    
    I don't know, I don't know
    
    Something in the way she knows
    And all I have to do is think of her
    Something in the things she shows me
    
    Don't want to leave her now
    You know I believe her now

    Maxwell's Silver Hammer

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney
     
    
    Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
    Science in the home
    Late nights all alone with a test-tube
    Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
    Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
    Calls her on the phone
    "Can I take you out to the pictures
    Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
    But as she's getting ready to go
    A knock comes on the door...
    
    Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
    Came down upon her head
    Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
    Made sure that she was dead
    
    Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
    Teacher gets annoyed
    Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
    She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
    So he waits behind
    Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
    But when she turns her back on the boy
    He creeps up from behind
    
    Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
    Came down upon her head
    Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
    Made sure that she was dead
    
    P.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
    Maxwell stands alone
    Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
    Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
    Say he must go free   (Maxwell must go free)
    The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-oo
    But as the words are leaving his lips
    A noise comes from behind
    
    Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
    Came down upon his head
    Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
    Made sure that he was dead

    Oh! Darling

    Oh! Darling, if you leave me

    Octopus' Garden

    (Starr)  Lead vocal: Starr
    
    
    I'd like to be under the sea
    In an octopus' garden in the shade
    He'd let us in, knows where we've been
    In his octopus' garden in the shade
    
    I'd ask my friends to come and see
    An octopus' garden with me
    I'd like to be under the sea
    In an octopus' garden in the shade.
    
    We would be warm below the storm
    In our little hideaway beneath the waves
    Resting our head on the sea bed
    In an octopus' garden near a cave
    
    We would sing and dance around
    because we know we can't be found
    I'd like to be under the sea
    In an octopus' garden in the shade
    
    We would shout and swim about
    The coral that lies beneath the waves
    (Lies beneath the ocean waves)
    Oh what joy for every girl and boy
    Knowing they're happy and they're safe
    (Happy and they're safe)
    
    We would be so happy you and me
    No one there to tell us what to do
    I'd like to be under the sea
    In an octopus' garden with you.

    Here Comes The Sun

    (Harrison)  Lead vocal: Harrison
    
    
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
    and I say it's all right
    
    Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
    Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
    and I say it's all right
    
    Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
    Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
    and I say it's all right
    
    Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
    
    Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
    Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
    Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
    and I say it's all right
    It's all right

    Because the world is round it turns me on
    Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh
    
    
    Because the wind is high it blows my mind
    Because the wind is high......aaaaaaaahhhh
    
    Love is all, love is new
    Love is all, love is you
    
    Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
    Because the sky is blue.......aaaaaaaahhhh
    
    Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh....

    You Never Give Me Your Money

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney
    
    
    You never give me your money
    You only give me your funny paper
    and in the middle of negotiations
    you break down
    
    I never give you my number
    I only give you my situation
    and in the middle of investigation
    I break down
    
    Out of college, money spent
    See no future, pay no rent
    All the money's gone, nowhere to go
    Any jobber got the sack
    Monday morning, turning back
    Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
    But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
    Oh, that magic feeling
    Nowhere to go
    
    One sweet dream
    Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
    Soon we'll be away from here
    Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
    One sweet dream came true today
    Came true today
    Came true today (yes it did)
    
    One two three four five six seven,
    All good children go to Heaven

    Sun King

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon
    
    
    Here comes the sun king
    Here comes the sun king
    Everybody's laughing
    Everybody's happy
    Here comes the sun king
    
    

    Mean Mr. Mustard

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon
    
    
    Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
    Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
    Sleeps in a hole in the road
    
    Saving up to buy some clothes
    Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
    Such a mean old man
    Such a mean old man
    
    His sister Pam works in a shop
    She never stops, she's a go-getter
    Takes him out to look at the queen
    Only place that he's ever been
    Always shouts out something obscene
    Such a dirty old man
    Dirty old man

    Polythene Pam

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: Lennon
    
    
    Well you should see Polythene Pam
    She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
    Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
    Yes you should see Polythene Pam.
    Yeah yeah yeah
    
    Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
    She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
    She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
    Yes you could say she was attractively built.
    Yeah yeah yeah.

    She Came In Through The Bathroom Window

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney 
    
    
    She came in through the bathroom window
    Protected by a silver spoon
    But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
    By the banks of her own lagoon
    
    Didn't anybody tell her?
    Didn't anybody see?
    Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
    Tuesday's on the phone to me
    
    She said she'd always been a dancer
    She worked at 15 clubs a day
    And though she thought I knew the answer
    Well I knew what I could not say.
    
    And so I quit the police department
    And got myself a steady job
    And though she tried her best to help me
    She could steal but she could not rob
    
    Didn't anybody tell her?
    Didn't anybody see?
    Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
    Tuesday's on the phone to me
    Oh yeah.

    Golden Slumbers

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney
    
    
    Once there was a way to get back homeward
    Once there was a way to get back home
    Sleep pretty darling do not cry
    And I will sing a lullabye
    
    Golden slumbers fill your eyes
    Smiles awake you when you rise
    
    Sleep pretty darling do not cry
    And I will sing a lullabye
    
    Once there was a way to get back homeward
    Once there was a way to get back home
    Sleep pretty darling do not cry
    And I will sing a lullabye

    Carry That Weight

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney
    
    Boy, you're going to carry that weight
    Carry that weight a long time
    Boy, you're going to carry that weight
    Carry that weight a long time
    
    I never give you my pillow
    I only send you my invitation
    And in the middle of the celebrations
    I break down
    
    Boy, you're going to carry that weight
    Carry that weight a long time
    Boy, you're going to carry that weight
    Carry that weight a long time

    The End

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney 
    
    Oh yeah, all right
    Are you going to be in my dreams
    Tonight?
    
            .
    drum solo      
            .
    guitar solos
            .
    And in the end
    The love you take
    Is equal to the love you make.

    Her Majesty

    (Lennon/McCartney)  Lead vocal: McCartney
    
    
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
    but she doesn't have a lot to say
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
    but she changes from day to day
    
    I want to tell her that I love her a lot
    But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
    Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeh,
    someday I'm going to make her mine.
