John Lennon - Instrumental
Once upon a time there was a working class hero,
Who wanted to give power to the people so,
He asked us to imagine a world of peace, love and truth,
To give peace a chance,
Do you want to know a secret from me to you?
All you need is love so love me do.
And whether the music was acoustic or rock and roll,
He walked the long and winding road until he wore out his rubber sole.
With his old brown shoe,
He broke walls and bridges down,
Made us come together,
'Caused us all to twist and shout.
He was the one to tell us what goes on
Number nine, number nine revolution
John,
John,
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
John,
Oh, john
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
He was a paperback writer,
As well as pen and verse.
His best known publication was a spaniard in the works
And in his own right,
He would write and write and write.
Cause you should do whatever gets you through the night.
Every man has a woman who loves him more than any other,
But for this boy, who'd compare to john lennons mother?
She's a woman named yoko,
She's something new,
So hold on john, because she loves you.
This is real love,
No more cover versions.
Their love was just like starting over, two virgins.
He was happier then anybody'd ever seen
But the boys of abbey road, didn't want to let it be,
John,
John,
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
John,
Oh, john
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
He went to live in new york city, but he lived on borrowed time.
Living life with the lines, he was shot by a jealous guy,
With a revolver, but don't ask me why.
Life's little more then: Hello, goodbye.
My, what a souvenir from their visit to america,
Now hes going to strawberry fields forever.
Hardly instant karma, but
Calm your nerves,
Cause this beautifull boy's now as free as a bird
John,
John,
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
John,
Oh, john
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
John,
John,
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
John,
Oh, john
Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon
Le-le-le-le-le-le-len
