With A Little Help From My Friends: Joe Cocker
#1 in the UK in '68. (From Lennon/McCartney's
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, '67)
 
(Cocker's version is a lot slower than the Beatles
and isn't exactly the same.)

G  D  A    (x5)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
A              E       Bm
What would you do if I sang out of tune,
E               E7                 A
would you stand up and walk out on me?
A            E            Bm
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
E        E7                     A
  I will try not to sing out of key.

A          E           Bm
  How do I feel at the end of the day?
         E                  E7      A
(Are you sad because you're on your own?) I tell, don't get sad no more

I can't tell you, but it sure feels like mine.
