The Ballad of John & Yoko

John Lennon

Transposer:

Bass riff: and Standing in the dock at Southampton trying to get to Holland Or France The Man In the Mac said ’You gotta go back’ You know they didn’t even give us a chance You know it ain’t easy you know how hard it can be The way things are going ...they’re gonna crucify me. Finally made the plane into paris honeymooning down by the seine Peter Brown called to say you can make it ok You can get married in Gibraltar near spain .. You know it aint easy you know how hard it can be The way things are going ...they’re gonna crucify me. Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton talking in our beds for a week The newspapers said ’What’re you doing in bed’ I said we’re only trying to get us some peace ... You know it aint easy you know how hard it can be The way things are going ...they’re gonna crucify me. Saving all your money for a rainy day Giving all your clothes to charity Last nite the wife said oh boy when you’re dead You don’t take nothing with you but your soul Think! Made a lightning trip to Vienna Eating chocolate cake in a bag The newspapers said "She’s gone to his head They look just like two gurus in drag" You know it aint easy you know how hard it can be The way things are going ...they’re gonna crucify me. Caught the early plane back to London Fifty acorns tied in a sack The men from the press say "We wish you success It’s good to have the both of you back" You know it aint easy you know how hard it can be The way things are going ...they’re gonna crucify me.

Cette chanson évoque le parcours tumultueux de deux amoureux en quête de paix et d'épanouissement, confrontés à l'opposition et au jugement des autres. Ils traversent des défis, que ce soit sur le plan légal, en cherchant à se marier, ou dans leur vie quotidienne, comme lorsqu'ils se retrouvent critiqués pour leur choix de rester ensemble et de vivre des moments intimes. L'artiste exprime une certaine désillusion face à la société qui les entoure et met en avant la valeur de l'amour et de l'âme au-dessus des possessions matérielles. Le contexte de la chanson se situe pendant une période où la presse scrutait intensément la vie de ces célébrités, illustrant la tension entre la recherche du bonheur personnel et l'œil néfaste du public. Leur voyage à travers l'Europe devient une métaphore de leur liberté et de leur désir de vivre authentiquement, malgré les obstacles rencontrés.
