John Lennon Handwritten Working "Because" Lyrics.
Offered here are the original handwritten lyrics for the hit Beatles song, "Because", written by John Lennon in a ballpoint pen.
John Lennon has written, "Because the world is round, it turns me on / Because the world is high, it blows my mind / Love is old, Love is new, Love is all, Love is you / Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry".
"Because" is a song written by John Lennon and recorded by the Beatles. It was released on their 1969 album Abbey Road, immediately preceding the extended medley on side two of the record. It features a prominent three-part vocal harmony by Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison, recorded three times to make nine voices in all.
The three-part backing vocals were also used in the 2023 Beatles song "Now and Then" which was just released.
Fair condition, ink has faded but still legible.
