[Verse 1]
If you knew, Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue
Without Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well I love you girl, yes I love you Peggy Sue

[Verse 2]
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Peggy Sue
Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you girl and I need you Peggy Sue

[Verse 3]
I love you, Peggy Sue, with a love so rare and true
Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh I still love you girl, and I want you Peggy Sue
Look out

[Instrumental Verse]

[Verse 4]
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, oh how my heart yearns for you
Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well I love you girl, and I want you Peggy Sue
Oh yes I love you girl and I want you Peggy Sue

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.
