Beatles-Yellow Submarine
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
Yellow Submarine” is a 1966 song by The Beatles (credited to Lennon/McCartney), with lead vocals by Ringo Starr. Although it had previously been released on the Revolver album, it became the title song for the 1968 animated United Artists film, also called Yellow Submarine. It is also the title for the soundtrack album to the film, released as part of The Beatles’ music catalogue. (Wikipedia)
The song was better received in Britain than in the United States. The single went to number 1 on every major British chart, remained at number 1 for four weeks and charted for 13 weeks. It won an Ivor Novello Award for the highest certified sales of any single issued in the UK in 1966. However, it failed to reach number 1 on the American charts. A contributing factor may have been the “Bigger than Jesus” controversy.[2] (Wikipedia)

{title:Yellow Submarine}
{st:John Lennon/Paul McCartney}
In the [D]town where [C]I was [G]born
[Em]Lived a [Am]man who sailed the [D]sea.
And he told us [C]of his [G]life
[Em]In the [Am]land of subma[D]rines.
So we sailed up to the sun
‘Till we found the sea of green,
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine.
[G]We all live in a [D]yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, [G]yellow submarine.
[G]We all live in a [D]yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, [G]yellow submarine.
And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
As we live a life of ease,
Everyone of us has all we need.
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine.
