John Lennon's Guitar - Barclay James Harvest

back in the autumn of seventy

on the night shift at abbey road

four young men were recording a song named `galadriel'

for an album they’d call «once again»

the producer was norman smith

who’d engineered with the beatles and john

whose guitar was to be instrumental that day

when i came to play

i remember it well, as if it was yesterday

the day that i played

john lennon’s guitar

i remember it well, as if it was yesterday

the day that i played

john lennon’s guitar

back in the autumn of seventy

as i played on my borrowed guitar

how could i know the beatles would split the next day

my heroes break up and go their own way

now autumns they come and they go but my friends and my memories remain

and my heroes, well some of them fell from the stage

but their light still remains

i remember it well, as if it was yesterday

the day that i played

john lennon’s guitar

i remember it well, as if it was yesterday

the day that i played

john lennon’s guitar

i remember the day

i remember the day

i remember the day

i remember the day

the day that i played

john lennon’s guitar

i remember the day, as if it was yesterday

and i know that the memories will never fade

i remember the day, as if it was yesterday

the day that i played

john lennon’s guitar
