[Verse 1]
You don't need the love-in
You don't need a bed pan
You don't need a horoscope or the microscope
To see the mess that you're in
If you open up your heart
You can see what I mean
Been polluted so long
Now here's a way for you to get clean

[Chorus]
By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is waiting on you all to waken and see
By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is waiting on you all to waken and see

[Verse 2]
You don't need a passport
You don't need no visa
You don't need to designate or to emigrate
Before you can see Jesus
If you open up your heart
Then you'll see He's right there
And He always was and will be
He'll relieve you of all your cares

[Chorus]
By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is waiting on you all to waken and see
By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free
The Lord is waiting on you all to waken and see

[Verse 3]
You don't need no church house
You don't need no Temple
You don't need no rosary beads or them books to read
To see that you have fallen
If you open up your heart
Then you'll see what I mean
We've been kept down so long
Someone's thinking that we're all green

[Outro]
While the Pope owns fifty-one percent of General Motors
And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote us
But the Lord is waiting on you all to waken and see
By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free

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.”
