[Intro]
Is it better [??] we think
It's very hard to sing this y’know (Yes a very hard song, John)
Yeah, maybe I should strum it the first time

[Bridge 1]
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Ju-

[Verse 1]
Julia, Julia
Ocean child calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia

[Verse 2]
Seashell eyes
Windy smile calls me
So I sing a song of love for Ju-


[Interlude]
Do you think it's better like that? I'm singing it better
But I can’t play it better
I'll just try picking it again but slightly faster

[Bridge 1]
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Ju-

[Verse 1]
Julia, Julia
Ocean child calls me
So I sing the song of love for Julia

[Verse 2]
Seashell eyes
Windy smile calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia

[Bridge 2]
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering
Glimmering in the sun

[Verse 3]
Julia, Julia
Morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love for Julia

[Bridge 3]
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia

[Verse 4]
Silent Cloud
Sleeping sand, touch me
So I sing the song of love for Julia

[Verse 5]
Hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm
So I sing a song of love for Julia

[Outro]
Yes?
Yeah, it is better

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.
