[Verse 1]
Friends come and friends go
As I go round and round in circles

[Verse 2]
Love someone, change your mind
Decide he was a swine
As you go round and round in circles

[Bridge]
He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I go round in circles

[Verse 3]
Dislike someone and will not bend
Later they may become your best friend
As life it goes around in circles

[Mostly Instrumental Verse]
Ooh ooh ooh go circles
Ooh ooh ooh go circles

[Bridge]
He who knows does not speak
He who speaks does not know
And I know that I go round in circles

[Verse 4]
Soul takes on a body with each birth we make our date
With life and death along the road the soul reincarnates
The show goes round and round in circles

[Verse 5]
When loss and gain and up and down
Becomes the same then we stop going in circles

[Outro]
Round and round in circles
Round and round and round go circles
Round and round go circles
Round and round go circles
Round and round and round go circles
Go circles
Go circles
Round and round and round go circles

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.”
