Just Because

John Lennon


Tom: E

E                E7             A          F#m7
Ah, remember this
B                B7             E
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
E                E7             A          F#m7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
B                B7             E
I could have been twelve actually


[Chorus]
E                E7             F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B                 B7             E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E          E7                   F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B                B7             E
Darling, I would rather let you go


[Verse]
E              E7                 F#m7
Just because I want someone who's kind
B               B7               E
With a heart as good and pure as mine
    E          E7             F#m7
But maybe I am asking far too much
B                     B7            E
Darling, please don't ever break my heart


[Bridge]
           A                        B
I know you think you're smart, just running around
             B                      B7
and breaking lovers' hearts


[Chorus]
E                E7             F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B                 B7             E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E          E7                   F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B                B7             E
Darling, I would rather let you go


[Horn Solo]
(Lennon quietly rambling about nonsense)
E              E7              F#m7

B              B7              E

E              E7              F#m7

B              B7              E



[Horn Solo continued]
E              E7              F#m7

B              B7              E

E              E7              F#m7
This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
B              B7              E
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye


[Chorus]
E                E7             F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B                 B7             E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E          E7                   F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B                B7             E
Darling, I would rather let you go
