rate, comment, and enjoy!
Standard Tuning
Capo 5th
Note that in the C E F G pattern that E is occasionally played as E7
listen to the song for the correct strumming pattern, though the pattern
is pretty simple and shouldn't take much to figure out if you know the song!
Intro(x2): C E F G
[C]If there's [E]someone you can [F]live without[G], then do so.[C][E][F][G]
[C]And if there's [E]someone you can [F]just shove out[G]; do so.[C][E][F][G]
Chorus:
[C]You can [E]be my Yoko [F]Ono[G]
[C]You can [E]follow me wher[F]ever I [G]go
[C]Be my, [E]be my, Be my,
[F]Be my Yoko [G]Ono.
[C]Isn't it [E]beautiful to [F]see two people[G] so much in love?[C][E][F][G]
[C]Barenaked [E]as two virgins [F]hand in hand and [G]hand and hand in glove.[C][E][F][G]
[C]Now that I'm [E]far away it [F]doesn't seem to [G]me to be such a pain.[C][E][F][G]
[C]To have you [E]hanging off my [F]ankle like some [G]kind of ball and chain.[C][E][F][G]
(Go To Chorus)
[F]Oh no, [G]here we go, our [C]life is just one big [Am]pun.
F G C E7 (strum E7 once)
Oh no, here we go as Yoko sings
HOYLOHOYLOFGLDFJGDKLFGE!
[C]I know that when I [E]say this, [F]I may be ste[G]pping on pins and needles;[C][E][F][G]
[C]But I don't like [E]all these people [F]slagging her for
[G]breaking up the Beatles[C].([E]Do[F]n'[G]t blame it on Yokey!)
[C]if I was John and [E]you were Yoko, [F]I would gladly [G]give up musical genius,[C][E][F][G]
[C]just to [E]have you as my [F]very own[G], personal Venus.[C][E][F][G]
(Hit It!)
(Go To Chorus, and after playing through chorus keep singing the Be my,
be my part while playing the same chords
on guitar and keeping the same tempo)
