[Verse 1]
Best thing I ever saw
Was a man who loved his wife
In a place where things were good
I felt peace in the neighbourhood

[Verse 2]
That feeling in the air
Something was definitely there
It was a time when things were good
I felt peace in the neighbourhood

[Bridge]
I was there, I really was
At the centre of a love vibration
People sharing with their friends
Helping each other out
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out

[Verse 3]
Then I woke up from my dream
To see things as they really are
People struggling to survive
How can peace hope to stay alive?

[Bridge]
Well I was there, I felt so good
At the centre of a love vibration
People caring for their world
Helping each other out
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out

[Outro]
Best thing I ever saw
I saw a man who loved his wife
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out
Peace in the neighbourhood
Peace in the neighbourhood
Peace in the neighbourhood

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
