The Ballad Of John And Yoko Uke tab by The Beatles

E
Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France

   E7
The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back"
You know they didn't even give us a chance

                          A
Christ you know it ain't easy

                         E
You know how hard it can be

                    B    A
The way things are going

                         E
They're going to crucify me


E
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
 
       E7
Peter Brown called to say

"You can make it OK
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain"


                         A
Christ you know it ain't easy

                         E
You know how hard it can be

                    B    A
The way things are going

                         E
They're going to crucify me


E
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week

      E7
The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace"

                         A
Christ you know it ain't easy

                         E
You know how hard it can be

                    B    A
The way things are going

                         E
They're going to crucify me

A
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said
"Poor boy, when you're dead

     B
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul, think!"

E
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag

     E7
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag"

                         A
Christ you know it ain't easy

                         E
You know how hard it can be

                    B    A
The way things are going

                         E
They're going to crucify me


E
Caught an early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack

    E7
The men from the press said, "We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back"

                         A
Christ you know it ain't easy

                         E
You know how hard it can be

                    B    A
The way things are going

                         E
They're going to crucify me

                    B    A
The way things are going

                         E
They're going to crucify me
