(Cocker's version is a lot slower than the Beatles
and isn't exactly the same.)
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?
E Bm
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
E E7 A
and I'll try not to sing out of key.
[Chorus]
A G D A
Oh, I'm gonna get by with a little help from my friends.
G D A
I just keep trying, high with a little help from my friends.

I wanna get high, high with a little help from my friends.

I just hold on with my friends.

What do I do when my love is away?
