[Verse 1]
You thought that you knew where I was and when
Baby it looks like he fooling you again
You thought that you had got me all staked out
But baby it looks like I've been breaking out

[Chorus]
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Just looking for the source
I'm a dark horse

[Verse 2]
You thought that you had got me in your grip
Baby looks like you was not so smart
And I became too slippery for you
But let me tell ya that was nothing new

[Chorus]
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I picked up my first spoon
I've been a cool jerk
Just looking for the source
I'm a dark horse

[Verse 3]
I thought that you knew it all along
Until you started getting me not right
Seems as if you heard a little late
I warned you when we both was at the starting gate

[Chorus]
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Who's looking for his perks
I'm a dark horse

I'm a dark horse
I'm running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped right out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Just looking at the source
I'm a dark horse

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.”
