[Verse 1]
(Hear me, Lord)
Forgive me, Lord
Please, those years when I ignored you, hmm
Forgive them, Lord
Those that feel they can't afford you, hmm
Help me Lord, please
To rise above this dealing, hmm
Help me Lord, please
To love you with more feeling, hmm

[Bridge]
At both ends of the road
To the left and the right
Above and below us
Out and in, there's no place that you're not in
Oh, won't you hear me, Lord?

[Instrumental Verse]
(Hear me, Lord)
(Hear me, Lord)
(Hear me, Lord)

[Bridge]
At both ends of the road
To the left and the right
Above and below us
Out and in, there's no place that you're not in
Oh, won't you hear me, Lord?

[Verse 2]
Help me, Lord, please
To rise a little higher, hmm
Help me, Lord, please
To burn out this desire, hmm
Hear me, Lord, please
Hear me, Lord, please

Oh, won't you— Please, please
Hear me, Lord
Oh, hear me, Lord
Hear me, Lord
Oh, won't you—Please, please
Hear me, Lord
Oh, hear me, Lord
Hear me, Lord
Oh, won't you— Please, please
Hear me, Lord
Oh, hear me, Lord
Hear me, Lord

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
