YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY
(Lennon-McCartney)
1965


The clearest manifestation of the power that Bob Dylan's music had over John 
Lennon at this time.  The song was written, played and sung by John with 
session men brought with flutes.  "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" is 
another very personal song, of which he later said, "When I was a teenager I 
used to write poetry, but was always trying to hide my real feelings... 
instead of projecting myself into a situation I would just try to express 
what I felt about myself... I think it was Dylan that helped me realise 
that."

      Here I stand with head in hand turn my face to the wall
G        D      F        G  C                F      C      D7
If she's gone I can't go on feelin' two foot small

Everywhere people stare each and every day
G     D        F        G  C               F      C      D7

How can I even try I can never win

Hearing them seeing them in the state I'm in



G         D   F      G  C                F      C
