[Chorus]
Teardrops, I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops, so hard to take I got a soaking with those
Teardrops and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

[Verse 1]
In the heart of the lonely man
In and out of love more often where most others can
He walks the streets like the losers in some lovers game
He talks so sweet but the news is always much the same

[Chorus]
Teardrops, I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops, so hard to take I got a soaking with those
Teardrops and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

[Verse 2]
In the eyes of the lonely one
Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks upon
He needs a friend, a lover who can comfort him
His deeds offend he knows that he has brought on him

[Chorus]
Teardrops, I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops, so hard to take I got a soaking with those
Teardrops and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

[Bridge]
Teardrops

[Chorus]
Teardrops, I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops, so hard to take I got a soaking with those
Teardrops and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

Teardrops, I've had my share of crying buckets full of
Teardrops, so hard to take I got a soaking with those
Teardrops and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

[Outro]
Teardrops
Teardrops
Teardrops

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.”
