Get Back

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson Arizona
For some California grass

Get back get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Hey Jude

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain hey Jude refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder

Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in hey Jude begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you hey Jude you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey Jude don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better

Na na na na na na na hey Jude...

Oh Will (Who Made It Rain Last Night)

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

Oh will who made it rain last night
Who could take blue from my sky and paint it black night
Who's telling me to look so I'll see the tears for years we will cry
Talk to me will you never told lies
Who made it rain last night

His and in mine left tears in my eye and won't dry
And wounds in my heart that won't heal
Your hand in mine time after time took the chill
From a heart that had been left here stone cold

His face in mine made me realize I could not stay another day
Knowing how you'd grieve when you knew I'd leave I cried
Standing in your door the rain will pour down from the sky
Will was not how this hurts saying no

Oh will who made it rain last night
Who could take blue from my sky and paint it black night
Who's telling me to look so I'll see the tears for years we will cry
Talk to me will you never told lies
Who made it rain last night

I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name

Lee Emerson

© Golden West Melodies, BMI

You said goodbye to me this morning
With only these words to explain
You say you found someone you love better
But I still hear your voice call my name

I thought I heard you calling my name
Funny I still feel this way
Your voice sounds so near but I knew
That by now you were many miles away

I walk through the streets of the city
People passing by think it's so strange
I'm talking but there's no one here beside me
And I thought I heard you call my name

I thought I heard you calling my name
Oh funny how I still feel this way
Your voice sounds so close but I know
That by now you were many miles away

I thought I heard you calling my name
Funny how I still feel this way
Your voice sounds so close but I know
You were many miles away

You Hung The Moon (Didn't You Waylon)

Jessi Colter

© Baron Music, BMI

You did hang the moon didn't you Waylon
You did hang that moon didn't you Waylon
Weren't you the one they called the seventh son
You did hang the moon didn't you Waylon

You take so many words and bring them all home with one
You walk into my room and it lights up like the sun
Each step you take leads a way for someone
And I know you'd never do love wrong

You did hang the moon didn't you Waylon
You did hang that moon didn't you Waylon
You were the one they call the seventh son
You did hang the moon didn't you Waylon
