The ballad of John and Yoko

C 
Standing in the dock at Southampton 
trying to get to Holland or France 
    C7 
the man in the mac said you've got to go back 
you know they didn't even give us a chance. 
                         F 
Christ you know it ain't easy 
                         C 
you know how hard it can be 
                   G7 
the way things are going 
                      C 
they're gonna crucify me. 
Finelly made the plane into Paris 
honeymooning down by the Seine 
Peter Brown called to say you can make it OK 
you can get married in Gibraltar near Spain. 
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton 
talking in our beds for a week 
the newspapers said what are you doing in bed 
I said we're only trying to get us some peace. 
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 don't take nothing with you but your soul. 
Made a lightning trip to Vienna 
eating chocolate cake in a bag 
the newspapers said, she's gone to his head 
they look just like two gurus in drag. 
Caught the early plane back to London 
fifty acorns tied in a sack 
the men from the press said we wish you success 
it's good to have the both of you back. 
Christ you know it ain't easy ... 
The way things are going 
they're gonna crucify me.
