My version of the great Beatles song. It's not too far from the original. I play it in a different key, bit faster, different guitar/uke strum pattern, use more percussion and have none of the guitar riffs or piano from the original. It is a favourite of mine.
Thanks for dropping by.

Words

Standing in the dock at Southampton
Tryin' to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back"
You know, they didn't even give us a chance
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me

Finally got a plane into Paris
Honey mooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say
Now you can make it OK
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me

Saving up your money for a rainy day
Givin' all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said, oh boy, when you're dead
You won't take nothing with you but your soul

Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake from a bag
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me

Caught the early plane back to London
50 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
You know how hard it can be
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
The way things are goin'
They're going to crucify me
