GIVE ME LOVE (GIVE ME PEACE ON EARTH)
By George Harrison

Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me peace on earth.
Give me light,
Give me life,
Keep me free from birth.
Give me hope,
Help me cope with this heavy load,
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul.

Om-mm, my lord,
Please, take hold of my hand,
That I might understand you.

Won't you please, oh, won't you
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me peace on earth.
Give me light,
Give me life,
Keep me free from birth.
Give me hope,
Help me cope with this heavy load,
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul.

Om-mm, my lord.


SUE ME, SUE YOU BLUES
By George Harrison

When you serve me and I serve you,
Swing your partners, all get screwed.
Bring your lawyer and I'll bring mine,
Get together and we could have a bad time.

It's affidavit swearing time,
Sign it on the dotted line.
Hold your bible in your hand,
Now all that's left is to find yourself a new band.

We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues,
We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues.

Gonna play the sue me, sue you blues,
Sue me, sue you blues.

Hold the block on money flow,
Now move into joint escrow.
Court receiver, laughs and thrills,
But in the end we just pay those lawyers their bills.
When you serve me and I serve you,
Swing your partners, all get screwed.
Bring your lawyer and I'll bring mine,
Get together and we could have a bad time.

We're gonna play the sue me, sue you blues,
Sue me, sue you blues, alright.

I'm tired of playing the sue me, sue you blues.


THE LIGHT THAT HAS LIGHTED THE WORLD
By George Harrison

I've heard how some people have said that I've changed,
That I'm not what I was, how it really is a shame.

The thoughts in their heads manifests on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings they themselves arouse.

So hateful of anyone that is happy or "free",
They live all their lives without looking to see,
The light that has lighted the world.

It's funny how people just won't accept change,
As if nature itself, they prefer re-arranged.

So hard to move on when you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance to experience soul.
I'm grateful to anyone that is happy or "free",
For giving me hope while I'm looking to see,
The light that has lighted the world.


DON'T LET ME WAIT TOO LONG
By George Harrison

How I love you, baby, so don't let me wait too long,
How I love you, baby, so don't let me wait too long.

How I miss you, baby, so don't let me wait too long,
How I miss you, baby, so don't let me wait too long.

'Till you're here by my side,
Now only you know how to dry up all of those tears that I've cried.
Here, with your love,
Now only you know how to lay it down like it came from above,
You know it's you that I love.

Now don't let me wait too long,
Now don't let me wait too long,
Now don't let me wait too long,
Now don't let me wait too long.

So don't let me wait too long,
Now don't let me wait too long.

How I love you, baby, so don't let me wait too long,
How I love you, baby, so don't let me wait,
Don't let me wait,
Don't let me wait too long.


WHO CAN SEE IT
By George Harrison

I've been held up,
I've been run down,
I can see quite clearly now.
Through those past years
When I played towing the line.

I only ask,
That what I feel,
Should not be denied me now,
As it's been earned.
And I have seen my life belongs to me,
My love belongs to who can see it.

I've lived in fear,
I've been out there,
I've been 'round and seen my share
Of this sad world
And all the hate that it's stirred.

I only ask,
That what I know,
Should not be denied me now,
As it's been learned.
And I have seen my life belongs to me,
My love belongs to who can see it.

I only ask,
That what I feel,
Should not be denied me now,
As it's been earned.
And I have seen my life belongs to me,
My love belongs to who can see it.
Oh, my love belongs to who.


LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD
By George Harrison

I'm living in the material world,
Living in the material world.
Can't say what I'm doing here,
But I hope to see much clearer
After living in the material world.

I got born into the material world,
Getting worn out in the material world.
Use my body like a car,
Taking me both near and far.
Met my friends all in the material world.

Met them all here in the material world,
John and Paul here in the material world.
Though we started out quite poor,
We got "Richie" on a tour.
Got caught up in the material world.

From the spiritual sky,
Such sweet memories have I.
To the spiritual sky,
How I pray, yes, I pray,
That I won't get lost or go astray.

As I'm fated for the material world,
Get frustrated in the material world.
Senses never gratified,
Only swelling like a tide,
That could drown me in the material world.

While I'm living in the material world,
Not much giving in the material world.
Got a lot of work to do,
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world.

I'm living in the material world,
Living in the material world.
Hope to get out of this place
By the Lord Sri Krishna's grace.
My salvation from the material world.


THE LORD LOVES THE ONE
(THAT LOVES THE LORD)

By George Harrison

Now the Lord loves the one that loves the Lord,
And the law say if you don't give,
Then you don't get loving.
Now the Lord helps those that help themselves,
And the law says whatever you do
Is going to come right back on you.
We all making out
Like we own this whole world,
While the leaders of nations,
They're acting like big girls.
With no thoughts for their god,
Who provides us with all,
But when death comes to claim them,
Who will stand and who will fall?

We all move around
With objectives in mind,
To become rich or famous,
With our reputations signed.
But the few that can reach
To this coveted slot,
Don't escape old age creeping
Through their bodies like a rot.


BE HERE NOW
By George Harrison

Remember,
Now,
Be here now.
As it's not like it was before.

The past,
Was,
Be here now.
And it's not what it was before, it was.

Why try to live a life
That isn't real no how?
A mind, that wants to wander
'Round a corner is an unwise mind.

Now,
Is,
Here now.
And it's not what it was before.


TRY SOME, BUY SOME
By George Harrison

Way back in time someone said try some,
I tried some,
Now buy some, I bought some, oh, oh, oh, oh.

After a while when I had tried them,
Denied them,
I opened my eyes and I saw you, oo.

Not a thing did I have,
Not a thing did I see,
Till I called on your love
And your love came to me.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Through my life, seen grey sky, met big fry,
Seen them die to get high, oh, oh, oh, oh.

When it seemed that I would always be lonely,
I opened my eyes and I saw you, oo.

Not a thing did I feel,
Not a thing did I know,
Till I called on your love
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Won't you try some?
Baby, won't you buy some?
Won't you try some?
Baby, won't you try some?
Won't you try some?
Won't you try some?


THE DAY THE WORLD GETS ROUND
By George Harrison

The day the world gets round
To understanding where it is,
Using all it's found
To help each other, hand in hand.

The day the world gets round
To understanding where it's gone,
Losing so much ground.
Killing each other, hand in hand.

Such foolishness in man,
I want no part of their plan, no!
If you're the destructive kind,
Now I'm working from day to day
As I don't want to be like you.

I look for the pure of heart
And the ones who have made a start.
But, Lord, there are just a few
Who bow before you.
In silence I pray,
Oh, how I pray for the
Day the world gets round.

Using all they found
To help each other, hand in hand.

The day the world gets round.


THAT IS ALL
By George Harrison

That is all I want to say,
Our love can save the day.
That is all I'm waiting for,
To try to love you more.

That is all I want to do,
To get right next to you.
That is all I'm living for,
Your love and nothing more.
And that is all.

Times I find it hard to say,
With useless words getting in my way.
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before.

That is all I want from you,
A smile when I feel blue.
That is all I'm waiting for,
Your love and nothing more.
And that is all.

Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before.

But that is all I want to do,
To give my love to you.
That is all I'm living for,
Please, let me love you more.
And that is all.
