[Verse 1]
You said you were my friend
You don't even know my name
Is this the beginning of the end
Singing your songs with the same old pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Without understanding where can we go?
And if the world stops turning how will we know?

[Chorus]
Understanding
Imagination
Without understanding
No good vibrations

[Verse 2]
The book is open to me
I can see in your empty pages
You got eyes that won't see
Traveling blind in your own mazes

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
When you hear the angel sounds (hey, hey hey)
Turn around (yeah)
Two voices becoming just like one
Can it be done?

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
No good vibrations[x3]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
