(take 1)
[1,2,3, 1,2,3
Hold on, hold on.
I just gonna to raise this so it's nearer the bass strings than the top string.]

(take 2)
[Paul's broken at last broken,
at last Paul's broken at last a glass,
a glass he's broke today.
OK?
1, ... Oh, you ready, Macca?
1,2,3, 1,2,3]

(take 5)
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
