Ballad of John and Yoko [D]John Lennon

Verse 1
D Standing in the dock at Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France
The D7 man in the mac said you've got to go back
You know they didn't even give us a chance

Verse 2
D Finally made the plane into Paris, honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter D7 Brown called to say you can make it OK
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain

Chorus

Verse 3
D Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton, talking in our beds for a week
The D7 newspaper said say what you doing in bed
I said we're only trying to get us some peace

Bridge
G Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said oh boy when you're dead
You A7 don't take nothing with you but your soul –think

Verse 4
D Made a lightning trip to Vienna, eating chocolate cake in a bag
The D7 newspaper said she's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag

Chorus

Verse 5
D Caught the early plane back to London, fifty acorns tied in a sack
The D7 men from the press said we wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back

Outro
The way things are A7 going they're gonna crucify D me
