Standard Tuning Capo 5th N.C. means No Chord is played 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] C E F G x2 [Verse 1]
C                 E               F           G        C E F G
  And if there's someone you can live without, then do so.

C                E               F          G         C     E F G   
  And if there's someone you can just shove out; well do so.
[Chorus]
C          E          F     G
  You can be my Yoko Ono

C         E             F      G
  You can follow me wherever I   go

C        E
  Be my, be my, Be my,

F          G           C E F G   
Be my Yoko Ono. oh ooh oh
[Verse 2]
C              E            F             G                 C E F G
  Oh, isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love?

C            E              F                G                C E F G
  Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in love.

C                   E           F               G              C     E F G
  But now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain.

C              E              F               G                  C  E F G
  To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain.
[Chorus]
C         E          F     G
  You can be my Yoko Ono

C         E             F      G
  You can follow me wherever I   go

C        E
  Be my, be my, Be my,

F          G   
Be my Yoko Ono.
[Bridge]
F      G               C                    Am
Oh no, here we go, our life is just one big pun.

F      G          C            E7 (strum E7 once)   
Oh no, here we go as Yoko sings
HOYLOHOYLOFGLDFJGDKLFGE! [Verse 3]
C                    E         F           G                   C         E F G   
  I know that when I say this,   I may be stepping on pins and needles;

    C            E                F                
But I don't like all these people slagging her for 

G               C       E F                   G 
breaking up the Beatles.   (Don't blame it on Yokey!)

          C              E              F              G                C      E F G
I mean if I was John and you were Yoko, I would gladly give up musical genius,

C          E              F       G         C       E F G
  just to have you as my very own, personal Venus.
(Hit It!) [Chorus]
C         E          F     G
  You can be my Yoko Ono

C          E            F      G
  You can follow me wherever I   go

C        E
  Be my, be my, Be my,

Be my Yoko Ono. oh ooh oh  (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
