[Verse 1]
I don't want you but I hate to lose you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Verse 2]
I forgive you because I can't forget you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Bridge]
I want to cross you off my list
But when you come knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more

[Verse 3]
I should hate you but I guess I love you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Acoustic Guitar and Piano Solos]

[Bridge]
I want to cross you off my list
But when you come knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more

[Verse 3]
I should hate you but I guess I love you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

[Outro]
You got me in between the devil and the deep
(The devil and the deep)
The devil and the deep blue sea

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.”
