  • Verse 1

    Due 
    to 
    a miracle 

    marketing 
    strategy 

    Beyond 
    the realms 

    of reasonable 
    possibility 

    It 
    is announced 
    simultaneously 

    On radio, 
    compact 
    disc 
    and 
    TV 

    That 
    John, Paul, 
    George 
    and 
    Ringo 

    Are going to be 
    reforming 
    as The 

    Beatles 
    in 
    1993 

    Verse 2
    Things skip 
    into 
    action 
    immediately 

    George 
    buys 
    the 
    film 
    rights 

    in a flurry 
    of 
    activity 

    Paul 
    says 
    they're not 
    going to play 
    Japan 

    Ringo 
    cancels 
    his 

    three year 
    chat 
    show plan 

    And 
    John, who was 
    never 
    the quiet 
    one 

    John stays 
    silent 
    for 
    the time- 
    being 

    Verse 3
    And 
    the world 
    sing

    When 
    the Beatles 
    Hit America 

    When 
    the 
    Beatles 
    Hit Amer
    ica 

    It's going 
    to be sponsored 

    by... 

    When 
    the Beatles 
    Hit America 

    When 
    the 
    Beatles 
    Hit America 

    Verse 4
    And 
    lawyers 
    start 
    to draw 

    up 
    large contracts 

    Involving 
    sponsorship, 
    t- 
    shirt 
    deals, 

    Michael 
    Jackson 

    They're 
    interviewed 
    on live 

    TV 

    About management 
    deals 

    and corporate 
    policy 

    And 
    who's 
    gonna be 
    the manager 

    of 
    the new 
    Beatles? 

    The manager 
    is made 
    up of 
    cloned parts 
    of 

    Col Tom 
    Parker and 
    Col 
    Sanders 

    And George 
    says 
    he's not 

    even 
    going 
    to play 

    Unless 
    they bring 
    the 
    Maharishi 

    Verse 5
    Yes, 
    the Fab 
    Four 

    are interviewed 
    on live 
    TV 

    But 
    for some 
    reason 

    they're just 
    the 
    Fab 
    Three 

    And 
    a cardboard 
    cut 
    out 
    of John 

    With 
    a very 
    strange 
    smile 
    and 
    no shoes 
    on 

    Which starts 
    a scurrilous 

    John 
    is Dead 
    rumor 

    Which 
    Rolling 
    Stone 
    reveals 

    is just 
    hype 
    for 
    the tour 

    And the 
    world 
    sing
    Verse 6

    When 
    the Beatles 
    Hit America 

    When 
    the 
    Beatles 
    Hit Amer
    ica 

    It's 
    going to 
    be sponsored 
    by 
    ... 

    When 
    the Beatles 
    Hit Amer
    ica 

    When 
    the 
    Beatles 
    Hit Amer
    ica 

    Well, 
    The Who, 
    The Stone
    Verse 7
    s, 

    Debbie Gib
    son 
    and Diana 
    Ross 

    Record 
    Supergroup single 

    at 
    great cost 

    But 
    it's so 
    hard 
    to make 
    the 

    charts 

    Because everyone's 
    taken 

    the new 
    Beatles 
    to heart 

    And from 
    the time 

    of the announcement 
    of 
    the gig 

    To the 
    gig at 
    Che 
    Stadium 

    two years 
    later 

    Every record 
    in 
    the Top 
    Forty 

    on both sides 
    of the 
    Atlantic 

    is 
    written 
    by Lennon 
    McCartney 

    Verse 8
    And 
    finally 
    they get 

    into the 
    studio 

    To be co- 
    produced 
    by George 

    Martin 
    and Jeff 
    Lynne 

    And 
    Ringo 
    disappointed 

    to find 
    that 
    no one 

    Need
    s him 
    anymore 
    except 

    for the vibe 

    Because he's 
    been sampled 

    And he's 
    now 
    part 
    of the Great Drummers 

    Sampled 
    series 

    Verse 9
    George 
    gets 
    Monty 
    Python 
    in to 
    do 

    the vocals 

    Linda 
    takes 
    a lot of 
    photos 

    For 
    a book 
    that's 
    sold 
    out 

    Before 
    she even 
    though of 
    putting 
    it out 

    And John, 

    who was 
    never the quiet 
    one 

    Makes 
    all his press 
    contributions 

    from 
    his old song

    In tune, 
    in time 
    and 
    with the 

    backing 
    track 
    behind 
    him 

    And 
    they ask 
    him how it's 

    been 
    in the studio 

    he says 
    "It's 
    been a hard 

    day's 
    night" 

    And 
    now one understands 
    him but he 

    always was 
    the cryptic 
    one 

    And the world 
    sings 
    Verse 10

    When 
    the Beatles 
    Hit Amer
    ica 

    When 
    the

    When the Beatles 
    Hit America 


    When the Beatles Hit 
    America 

    Verse 11
    Finally 
    the record 
    hits 
    the shelves 

    And 
    it's called 
    The Beatles... 

    From 
    Ourselves 

    And for any
    one who 
    didn't realize 
    or know 

    It 
    sounded 
    lot like 
    ELO, 
    or 
    ELP, 

    or 
    XTC, ABC, YMO, BTO 

    But 
    it's 
    didn't sound 
    much 

    like 
    PSI.. 
    Love 
    You 

    Verse 12
    And the day 
    before 
    the 

    big 
    gig at 
    Che 

    The rumor 
    goes 
    round 

    People 
    saying 
    they're not 

    going to 
    play 

    That the 
    whole thing's 
    been 

    a big 
    insurance 
    scam 

    To 
    get the 
    reissues selling 
    again 
    - CYN

    ICAL 
    - but 
    isn't John 
    dead? 

    Suddenly 
    we're over 
    in the stadium 
    We're 
    Verse 13

    live 
    on CNN, MTV, 
    BBC 

    And 

    the 

    lights 

    go down 
    and 
    the screaming 
    stops 

    And 
    you 
    could hear 
    a pin 
    drop... 

    Verse 14

    And suddenly 
    they're 
    there 

    All four 
    of them 

    And I get 
    scared 

    As 
    they go 
    into 
    I Saw 
    Her Standing 
    There 

    And 
    thunder 
    through 

    the best 
    set 
    in the world 

    And 
    encore 
    with the whole 
    of 
    Sgt Pepper 

    IN 
    ORDER, 
    and they're Gods 

    And 
    I'm in 
    HEAVEN... 

    But on 
    the very 
    last 
    chord 
    Verse 15

    of A Day in 
    the Life 

    The Beatles 
    are beamed 
    off 

    into outer 
    space 

    Into a waiting 
    spaceship 

    Which 
    takes 
    them 
    to 
    a better 
    place 

    A place 
    where 
    reunions 
    are not 

    ex
    pected 
    of 
    anybody 

    Not even... 

    Verse 16
    This is 
    my dream 

    I bought 
    it 

    bought 
    the product 

    And now 
    I'm 
    happy 

    You 
    can believe 
    what 
    you like 

    It happened 

    That's 
    all folks 

    Verse 17
    And 
    the world 
    sings 

    When 
    the Beatles 
    Hit America

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
