[Intro]
One, two, three, four
Oh, actually, there should be a thing on the beginning which I forgot all about
Just Ringo, just one, two, three, bop
Dun-dun, you know, just uh, one beat
You know what I mean?
One, two, three, four
Yeah, that's it, that's it
Okay, here we go
One, two
One, two

[Verse 1]
There'll come a time when all of us must leave here
There's nothing sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I've been trying
Can equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?

[Verse 2]
There'll comе a time when all your hopes arе fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
Until you realize the art of dying
Are you still with me?

[Bridge]
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But if you have it
There'll be no need for it

[Verse 3]
There'll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect cup of tea
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the art of dying
Are you still with me?
Do you believe it?

George Harrison

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
