[Verse 1]
Have my love, it fits you like a glove
Join my dream, tell me yes
Bail out, should there be a mess
The pieces you don't need are mine

[Verse 2]
Take my time, I'll show you cloud 9
Take my smile and my heart
They were yours from the start
The pieces to omit are mine

[Verse 3]
Have my love, use it while it does you good
Share my highs but the times
That it hurts pay no mind
Those pieces you don't need are mine
I'll see you there on cloud 9

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Take my hope, maybe even share a joke
If there's good to be shown
You may make it all your own
And if you want to quit that's fine
While you're out looking for cloud 9

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.”
