THAT'S THE WAY GOD PLANNED IT IT DON'T COME EASY BEWARE OF DARKNESS (words and music:George Harrison) Watch out now, take care Beware of falling swingers, Dropping all around you, The pain that often mingles in your fingertips Beware of Darkness Watch out now, take care, Beware the thoughts that linger, Winding up inside your head. The hopelessness around you In the dead of night, Beware of sadness. It can hit you It can hurt you Make you sore and what is more That is not what you are here for. Watch out now, take care, Beware of soft shoe shufflers Dancing down the sidewalks. As each unconscious sufferer wanders aimlessly, Beware of MAYA Watch out now, take care, Beware of greedy leaders. They'll take you where you should not go. While weeping Atlas cedars They just want to grow. Beware of darkness. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS (words and music:George Harrison) I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you. I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you. I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all... Still my guitar gently weeps. George: "A couple of numbers from Leon.." JUMPIN' JACK FLASH I was born in a cross fire hurricane And I howled at my ma in the driving rain But it's alright now in fact it's a gas And it's alright I'm Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas I was raised by a toothless bearded hag I was schooled with a strap right across my back But it's alright now in fact it's a gas And it's alright I'm Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas But it's alright now in fact it's a gas And it's alright I'm Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas I was drowned I was washed up and left for dead I fell down to my feet and I saw them bled I was frowned at the crumbs of a crust of a bread I was crowned with a spike right through my head But it's alright now in fact it's a gas And it's alright I'm Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas YOUNG BLOOD I saw her standing on the corner A yellow ribbon in her hair I couldn't stop myself from calling Well look at that, look at that Look at that, look at that Young blood, young blood, young blood I can't get you out of my mind I couldn't sleep without crying And I saw her riding with her boy All I know my heart was crying You're the one, you're the one You're the one, you are the one Young blood, young blood, young blood I can't get you out of my mind I told her that I was righteous I tried to walk but I was lame I tried to talk but I just stood What's your name, what's your name What's your name, what's your name Young blood, young blood, young blood I can't get you out of my mind HERE COMES THE SUN (words and music:George Harrison) Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say It's alright Little darling, it's been a long calm 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 alright 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 alright. Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Little darling, I feel like ice 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 alright. A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALL (Words and Music by Bob Dylan) 1963 Warner Bros. Inc Renewed 1991 Special Rider Music Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? Who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded with hatred, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, Where the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it, And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it, Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', But I'll know my song well before I start singin', And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH, IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY Bob Dylan Well, I ride on a mail train, baby, can't buy a thrill I been up all night, leanin' on the window sill Well, if I die on top of the hill Well, if I don't make it mama, you know my baby will Don't the moon look good mama, shinin' through the trees Don't the brakemen look good mama, flaggin' down the double E's Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea But don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost I went to tell everybody, but I could not get across I wanna be your lover baby, I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost Each quarter note is donated by a . Therefore, A... equals one whole bar. BLOWIN' IN THE WIND How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail before she can sleep in the sand? How many times must the cannon balls fly before they are forever banned? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is a-blowin' in the wind. How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? How many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? How many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? How many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? How many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. MR. TAMBOURINE MAN CHORUS: Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming ...CHORUS Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship My senses have been stripped My hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it...CHORUS Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun It's not aimed at anyone It's just escaping on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facing And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time It's just a ragged clown behind I wouldn't pay it any mind It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing ...CHORUS Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted frightened trees Out to the windy bench Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow ...CHORUS JUST LIKE A WOMAN Nobody feels any pain Tonight as I stand inside the rain Everybody knows That Baby's got new clothes But lately I see her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls Chorus: She takes just like a woman, yes, she does She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl. Queen Mary, she's my friend. Yes I believe I'll go see her again. Noboby has to guess, That baby can't be blessed, 'Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest. With her fog, Her amphetamines And her pearls Chorus Bridge : G#7 It was raining from the first And I was dying of thirst E So I came in here G#7 And you long time curse hurts A But whats worse is this pain in here B B7 B I can't stay in here B B7 B Ain't it clear that Verse 3 I just can't fit. Yes I believe it's time for us to quit. And when we meet again, Introduced as friends, Please don't let on that you knew me when, I was hungry, And it was your world then. Chorus | A E A B | E SOMETHING (words and music:George 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 and how Somewhere in her smile she knows That I don't need no other lover Something in her style that shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how 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 looks And all I have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how. BANGLA DESH (words and music:George Harrison) My friend came to me With sadness in his eyes Told me that he wanted help Before his country dies Although I couldn't feel the pain I knew I had to try Now I'm asking all of you Help us save some lives! Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh Where so many people are dying fast And it sure looks like a mess Never seen such a distress Now won't you lend your hand And understand We got to relieve Bangla Desh Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh Such a great disaster I don't understand But it sure looks like a mess I never known such distress Please don't turn away I wanna hear you say: "Relieve the people of Bangla Desh!" We got to relieve Bangla Desh Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh Though it may seen so far from where we all are It's something we can't neglect That suffering I can't neglect Now won't you give some bread Get the starving fed We got to relieve Bangla Desh Relieve the people of Bangla Desh We got to relive Bangla Desh
