NOWHERE MAN
(Lennon-McCartney)
1965


In John's own words, "I was just sitting, trying to think of a song.  And I 
thought of myself sitting there, doing nothing and getting nowhere... 
sitting in this nowhere land."  This was a departure in that up to that 
point every Beatles song had, to some extent, been about love.



He's a real nowhere man sitting in his nowhere land
A              Am                E
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody



E              B             A                    E
Doesn't have a point of view knows not where he's going to
A          Am               E
Isn't he a bit like you and me



        G#m        A                G#m              A
Nowhere man please listen you don't know what you're missing
(Ah, ah, la, la, la)
        G#m     A                             B
Nowhere man the world is at your command
(Ah, ah, la, la, la, ah, la, la, la, la, la)



Instrumental
E      B      A      E      A      Am      E



                 B         A                 E
He's as blind as he can be just sees what he wants to see
A               Am            E
Nowhere man can you see me at all



        G#m       A               G#m        A
Nowhere man don't worry take your time don't hurry
(Ah, ah, la, la, la)
         G#m                    A                     B
Leave it all 'til somebody else lends you a hand
(Ah, ah, la, la, la, ah, la, la, la, la, la)



E              B             A                    E
Doesn't have a point of view knows not where he's going to
A          Am               E
Isn't he a bit like you and me



        G#m        A                G#m              A
Nowhere man please listen you don't know what you're missing
(Ah, ah, la, la, la)
        G#m      A                            B
Nowhere man the world is at your command
(Ah, ah, la, la, la, ah, la, la, la, la, la)



E           B           A              E
He's a real nowhere man sitting in his nowhere land
A              Am                E

A              Am                E
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
A              Am                E
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
