GIVE ME LOVE
(words and music:George Harrison)
 
Give me love, give me love, 
give me peace on earth
give me light, give me life, 
keep me free from birth.
Give me hope, 
help me cope with this heavy load
trying to touch and reach you 
with heart and soul...
 
Om m  m  my lord.
 
Please  ..  .. take hold of my hand
that I might understand you.
 
Won't you please oh won't you.
 
Give me love, give me love, 
give me peace on earth

give me light, give me life, keep me free from birth.
Give me hope, 
help me cope with this heavy load
trying to touch and reach you
 with heart and soul...
Give me love, give me love, 
give me peace on earth
give me light, give me life, 
keep me free from birth.
Give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load
trying to ... touch and reach ...
 
 
SUE ME SUE YOU BLUES
(words and music:George Harrison)

You serve me
And I'll serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer I'll bring mine
Get together and we could have a bad time

It's affidavit swearing time
Sign it on the dotted line
Hold your Bible in your hand
Now all that is left is to
Find yourself a new band

We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues
We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues

Hold the block on money flow
Move it into joint escrow
Court receiver laughs and thrills
But in the end we just pay those lawyers their bills

When you serve me
And I serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer I'll bring mine
Get together and we could have a bad time

We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues
We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues

I'm tired of playing the sue me, sue you blues
I'm tired of playing the sue me, sue you blues


THE LIGHT THAT HAS LIGHTED THE WORLD
(words and music:George Harrison)

I've heard how some people have said that I've changed
That I'm not what I was 
how it really is a shame
The thoughts in their heads manifest on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings 
they themselves arouse
So hateful of anyone that is happy or free
They live all their lives without looking to see
The light that has lighted the world

It's funny how people 
just won't accept change
As if nature itself 
they'd prefer re-arranged
So hard to move on when you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance 
to experience soul
I'm grateful to anyone that is happy or free
For giving me hope while I'm looking to see
The light that has lighted the world


DON'T LET ME WAIT TOO LONG
(words and music:George Harrison)

How I love you baby
So don't let me wait too long
How I love you baby
So don't let me wait too long

How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long
How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long

Till you're here by my side
Now only you know how to dry up all
of those tears that I've cried
Here with your love
Now only you know how to lay it down 
Like it came from above
You know it's you that I love 

Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long
Now don't let me wait too long

Till you're here by my side
Now only you know how to dry up all
of those tears that I've cried
Here with your love
Now only you know how to lay it down 
Like it came from above
You know it's you that I love 

So don't let me wait too long
So don't let me wait too long
How I miss you baby
So don't let me wait too long
How I miss you
So don't let me wait
Don't let me wait
Don't let me wait too long


WHO CAN SEE IT
(words and music:George Harrison)

I've been held up, 
I've been run down, 
I can see quite clearly now
Through those past years, 
when I played towing the line
I only ask, that what I feel, 
should not be denied me now
As it's been earned, 
and I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it

I've lived in fear, I've been out there, 
I've been round and seen   my share
Of this sad world, 
and all the hate that it's stirred
I only ask, that what I know, 
should not be denied me now

As it's been learned, 
and I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it

I only ask, that what I feel, 
should not be denied me now
As it's been earned, 
and I have seen my life belongs to me
My love belongs to who can see it, oh-ooh


LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD
(words and music:George Harrison)

I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
Can't say what I'm doing here
But I hope to see much clearer
After living in the material world

I got born into the material world
Getting worn out in the material world
Use my body like a car
Taking me both near and far
Met my friends all in the material world

Met them all here in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor
We got Ritchie on a tour
Got caught up in the material world

From the Spiritual Sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray

As I'm fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drawn me in the material world

From the Spiritual Sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the Spiritual Sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray

While I'm living in the material world
Not much giving in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world

I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
I hope to get out of this place
by the LORD SRI KRSHNA'S GRACE
My salvation from the material world


THE LORD LOVES THE ONE
(words and music:George Harrison)

The Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give
Then you don't get loving
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do 
Is going to come right back on you

We all making out
Like we own this  whole world
While the leaders of Nations
They're acting like big girls
With no thought for their God
Who provides us with all
But when death comes to claim them
Who will stand and who will fall?

The Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give
Then you don't get loving
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do 
Is going to come right back on you

We all move around
With objectives in mind
to become rich or famous
With our reputation signed
But the few that can reach
to this coveted slot
Don't escape old age creeping
through their bodies like a rot

While the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord
And the law says if you don't give
Then you don't get loving
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves
And the law says whatever you do 
Is going to come right back on you


BE HERE NOW
(words and music:George Harrison)

Remember, now, be here now
As it's not like it was before
The past, was, be here now
As it's not like it was before - it was

Why try to live a life
that isn't real
no how
A mind, that wants to wonder
round a corner
is an unwise mind

How, is, here now
And it's not what it was before
Remember, now, be here now
As it's not like it was before - it was


TRY SOME BUY SOME
(words and music:George Harrison)

Way back in time
Someone said try some
I tried some
Now buy some - I bought some, oh oh
After awhile
When I have tried them, denied them
I opened my eyes and I saw you...

Not a thing did I have
Not a thing did I see
Till I called on your love
And your love came to me

Oh oh

Through my life
I've seen gray sky, met big fry
Seen them die to get high, oh oh
And when it seemed 
that I would always be lonely
I opened my eyes and I saw you

Not a thing did I feel
Not a thing did I know
Till I called on your love
And your love sure did grow

Oh oh oh

Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some
Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some


THE DAY THE WORLD GETS ROUND
(words and music:George Harrison)

The day the world gets round
to understand where it is
Using all it's found
To help each other, hand in hand

The day the world gets round
To understand where it's gone
Losing so much ground
Killing each other, hand in hand

Such foolishness in man
I want no part of their plan, oh no

If you're the destructive kind
Now I', working from day to day
As I don't want to be like you
I look for the pure of heart
And the ones that have made a start
But Lord, there are just a few
Who bow before you
In silence they pray
Oh, how they pray for the day the world gets round

Using all they've found
To help each other, hand in hand

The day the world gets round

THAT IS ALL
(words and music:George Harrison)

That is all I want to say, 
our love could save the day
That is all I'm waiting for, 
to try to love you more
And that is all I want to do, 
to get right next to you
That is all I'm living for, 
your love and nothing more, and that is all

Times I find it hard to say 
with useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more 
than trying to say what's been said before
That is all I want from you, 
a smile when I feel blue
That is all I'm waiting for, 
your love and nothing more, and that is all

Silence often says much more than trying to say what's been said before

But that is all I want to do, to give my love to you
That is all I'm living for, please let me love you more, and that is all
