BEATLES SING THIS IN  “E”

You know they didn’t even give us a chance

CHORUS          
                         A                              EChrist you know it ain’t easy, you know how hard it can be                        
                   B7                             EThe way things are going,   they’re gonna crucify me.

You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain
