Song

-------------------------------------------------------

THE BEATLES - YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY

Paul McCartney

From ABBEY ROAD, released on September 26, 1969

-------------------------------------------------------

The basic track was recorded on May 6th, piano

and guide vocals by Paul, drums by Ringo, electric

guitar by John, and guitar through a Leslie

by George. The bass track was added on July 11th.

You never give me your money

You only give me your funny paper

And in the middle of negotiations

You break down

I never give you my number

I only give you my situation

And in the middle of investigation

I break down

Out of college, money spent

See no future, pay no rent

All the money's gone, nowhere to go

Any jobber got the sack

Monday morning, turning back

Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go

But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go

Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go

Nowhere to go

(GUITAR SOLO)

One sweet dream

Pick up the bags and get in the limousine

Soon we'll be away from here

Step on the gas and wipe that tear away

One sweet dream came true today

Came true today

Came true today, yes it did

One two three four five six seven

All good children go to Heaven

INTRO
