[Verse 1]
Anna
You come and ask me, girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me, so I will set you free
Go with him (Anna)
Go with him (Anna)

[Verse 2]
Anna
Girl, before you go now
I want you to know, now
That I still love you so, but if he loves you more
Go with him

[Chorus]
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
Oh, now, but every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
Anna
Just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free
Go with him

[Chorus]
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl to love me like I love you
But let me tell you now
But every girl I've ever had, breaks my heart and leave me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 4]
Anna
Just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free
Go with him (Anna)

[Outro]
Go with him (Anna)
You can go with him, girl (Anna)
Go with him

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
