[Verse 1]
And you serve me and I'll serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer and I'll bring mine
Get together and we could have a bad time

[Verse 2]
It's affidavit swearing time
Sign it on the dotted line
Hold your Bible in your hand
Now all that's left is to find yourself a new band

[Chorus]
We're going to play the sue me, sue you blues
We're going to play the sue me, sue you blues

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
We're going to play the sue me, sue you blues
We're going to play the sue me, sue you blues

[Verse 3]
Hold the block on money flow
I move it into joint escrow
Court receiver, laughs and thrills
But in the end we just pay those lawyers their bills

[Verse 4]
And you serve me and I'll serve you
Swing your partners, all get screwed
Bring your lawyer and I'll bring mine
Get together and we could have a bad time

[Chorus]
We're going to play the sue me, sue you blues
Sue me, sue you blues
I'm tired of playing the sue me, sue you blues

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.”
