[Verse 1]
My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people's superstitions
It seemed like suicide

As I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way

[Chorus]
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere

[Verse 2]
Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time af
Ter time confirmed an old suspicion
It's good to be alive

And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
It's then I realize it's only a condition
Of seeing things that way

[Chorus]
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me anywhere
Takes me anywhere, alright

[Keyboard Solo]

[Outro]
Ah, intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me there

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
