With A Little Help From My Friends

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh, gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel at the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love.
(Could it be anybody?)
I just want somebody to love.

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes, I'm certain it happens all the time.
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you but I know it's mine.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

(Do you need anybody?)
Oh yeah, I need someone to love.
(Could it be anybody?)
I just want somebody to love.

Mm, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends.

[after first rendition]
Thank you! Thank you! Ha! ha! Thank you.
That song has given me a thirty year career.
Anyway, the story about that song, the original first verse to that was "What would you do if I sang out of tune, would you throw a tomato at me"
And I said, "I'm not singing that!"

Ah, it was so exciting!

This next song we're gonna do is gonna be called "It Don't Come Easy".
I wrote this song with the one and only George Harrison! Let's hear it for George!!
And we wrote it in the early seventies and, you know, George was very much into spiritual things, and so we were writing this song and we got to like the last verse and he sang "God"

"Oh no, George, I don't sing about God, you sing about God. "
So he, hum, hum, "Hare Krishna"
"No, no, I don't, you sing about Hare Krishna, I don't think so"
"But what about "Peace" ok?"
"Peace, ok!"
So we settled on the word "peace" and you'll hear it when we get to it.

I've got blisters...!
