    I remember the first time my dad played me this song as a kid. I was totally memerised and lost in the imagery. I was a cosmology buff at the time and still am. This is why this song was so imprinted on my mind. Its so beautiful and that melody.
    ''Pools of sorrow-waves of joy'' God damn.

    Words are flowing out
    Like endless rain into a paper cup
    They slither while they pass
    They slip away across the universe
    Pools of sorrow waves of joy
    Are drifting through my open mind
    Possessing and caressing me
    Jai Guru Deva, om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Images of broken light
    Which dance before me like a million eyes
    They call me on and on across the universe
    Thoughts meander like a restless wind
    Inside a letter box
    They tumble blindly as they make their way
    Across the universe
    Jai Guru Deva, om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Sounds of laughter shades of earth
    Are ringing through my open views
    Inciting and inviting me
    Limitless undying love
    Which shines around me like a million suns
    It calls me on and on across the universe
    Jai Guru Deva, om
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Nothing's gonna change my world
    Jai Guru Deva
    Jai Guru Deva
    Jai Guru Deva

    Alan; sometimes its the simple things in life that stump us the most. So many site mention that "they" (Beatles) sped up the songs, changed key's, tuned up, down or inside out and here in one simple video you did shows how easy it was for John to simply throw a capo on the first fret and play it in C; dah! I love, love, love this song. Thanks.

  • @georgestamm3359
    @georgestamm3359 9 лет назад

    I play with a "non-giging" group of 4-5 people now playing all the later Beatles stuff after having performed in many tribute bands over the years and now that I'm in the midst of their later stuff, it's like being born again musically, as far as the Beatles. Yes, John was a genius; as was George as well as Sir Paul. But yes, there was something very heavy about John that gets lost in his whimsical lyrics and tongue and cheek Brit humor. He was definitely a thinker and philosopher set to poetry and melodies.
    Keep the torch burning mate....

      George Stamm; It was the acid; the LSD. It is a wonderful trip! John was great, no doubt about that. But the lyrics? Straight out of an acid trip. Been there; done that.

    I had to refresh my skill on this one and one more trip to Mr. Robinson's neighborhood is all it took. Simply the best! i sure wish the hundreds of other turkeys out there would catch a little of this cat's act and maybe they'd understand something so simple... It's about the song, pal, not about you. God bless, Alan. You are bringing joy to so many.

    Thanks again, the way instruction should be! No blabbing to start, you play the beginning melody, then show the chords that will be used, and then actually play it in the proper key (1st capo), and once again no blabbing while you start. Perfection! thanks!
