Good tune, pretty funny. Please
rate, comment, and enjoy!
Standard Tuning
Capo 5th
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(x2): C E F G
CEFGG
If there's someone you can live without, then do so.
CEFGG
And if there's someone you can just shove out; do so.
Chorus:
CEFG
You can be my Yoko Ono
CEFG
You can follow me wherever I go
CE
Be my, be my, Be my,
FG
Be my Yoko Ono.
CEFGG
Isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love?
CEFGG
Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove.
CEFGG
Now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain.
CEFGG
To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain.
(Go To Chorus)
FGCAm
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!
CEFGG
I know that when I say this, I may be stepping on pins and needles;
CEF
But I don't like all these people slagging her for
GCEFG
breaking up the Beatles.(Don't blame it on Yokey!)
CEFGG
if I was John and you were Yoko, I would gladly give up musical genius,
CEFGG
just to have you as my very own, personal Venus.
(Hit It!)
(Go To Chorus, and after playing through chorus keep singing the Be my,
be my part while playing the same chords
on guitar and keeping the same tempo)
