The Ballad Of John And Yoko

(E)Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France
The (E7)Man in the Mac said, you gotta go back
You know they didn’t even give us a chance
Christ you know it ain’t (A)easy, you know how hard it can (E)be
The way things are (B7)going, they’re gonna crucify (E)me.

(E)Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter (E7)brown called to say, you can make it ok
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain
Christ you know it ain’t (A)easy, you know how hard it can (E)be
The way things are (B7)going, they’re gonna crucify (E)me.

(E)Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The (E7)newspapers said what you doing in bed
I said we're only trying to get us some peace
Christ you know it ain’t (A)easy, you know how hard it can (E)be
The way things are (B7)going, they’re gonna crucify (E)me.

(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
You (B7)don’t take nothing with you but (B)your soul..
(B7)Think!

(E)Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The news(E7)papers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag”
Christ you know it ain’t (A)easy, you know how hard it can (E)be
The way things are (B7)going, they’re gonna crucify (E)me.

(E)Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
The (E7)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 (A)easy, you know how hard it can (E)be
The way things are (B7)going, they’re gonna crucify (E)me.
The way things are (B7)going, they’re gonna crucify (E)me.
