It don't come easy,
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
Forget about the past and all your sorrows,
I don't ask for much, I only want your trust,
Open up your heart, let's come together,
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
Peace, remember peace is how we make it,
I don't ask for much, I only want your trust,
It Don't Come Easy
Richard Starkey
Recorded live at "the Concert for Bangla Desh" 1 August 1971 at the Madison Square Garden, New York.
It don't come easy,
You know it don't come easy.
You know it don't come easy.
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.
The future won't last,
It will soon be over tomorrow.
And you know it don't come easy.
Love of mine keeps growing all the time,
And you know it don't come easy.
Here within your love
And you know that it will work out.
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.
Here within your reach
If you're big enough to take it.
And you know it don't come easy.
.... Keeps growing all the time,
And you know it don't come easy.
