Chords

#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.) [Intro] 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.
[Chorus]
A                 G                D            A

                    G                  D            A
I just keep trying, high with a little help from my friends.

                  G                  D            A

(Does it worry you to be alone?) No no

A          E           Bm
  How do I feel at the end of the day?

(Are you sad because you're on your own?) I tell, don't get sad no more

Could it be anybody? All I need is someone,

  I'm certain it happens all the time.

 A           E            Bm
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)

  E             E7         A
I can't tell you, but it sure feels like mine.
[Chorus]
