[Verse 1]
Wise man, you won't be
To follow the like of me
In this world made of stone
Such a long way to go

[Verse 2]
We may disagree
We all have the right to be
In this world made of stone
Such a long way to go
Such a long, long way from home

[Verse 3]
And we may disagree
We all have the right to be
In this world made out of stone
It's such a long, long way to go

[Verse 4]
The wiser you may be
The harder it can be to see
In this world made of stone
Such a long, long way to go
Such a long way from home

[Verse 5]
In this world made of stone
Such a long, long way to go
And such a long way from OM

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.”
