[Verse 1]
Way back in time, someone said try some
I tried some, now buy some, I bought some, oh oh oh
After a while when I had tried them, denied them
I opened my eyes and I saw you

[Chorus]
Not a thing did I have
Not a thing did I see
Till I called on your love
And your love came to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Through my life, I've seen gray sky met big fry
Seen them die to get high, oh oh oh
And when it seemed that I would always be lonely
I opened my eyes and I saw you

[Chorus]
Not a thing did I feel
Not a thing did I know
Till I called on your love
And your love sure did grow
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some
Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some
Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some

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.”
