&quot;You've Got to Hide Your Love Away&quot; is a song by The Beatles. It was written and sung by John Lennon (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and released on the album Help! in August 1965. The song shows the influence of the American singer Bob Dylan. The song &quot;is just basically John doing Dylan&quot;, McCartney later said.  Lennon seems to mimic Dylan's gruff vocal style: the song is in a folkish strophic form and uses a Dylanesque acoustic guitar figure in compound time, chiefly acoustic accompaniment, no backing voices and light percussion from brushed snare, tambourine and maraca.

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Come Together

Intro: F

F
Under your wheels, the hope of spring
  Am
Mirage of loss, a few more things
    Dm
You left your sorrow dangling
   Bb                  C
It hangs in air like a school cheer

F
Complex notes inside the chords
    Am
On every wall inflections carved
Dm
Deep as lakes and dark as stars 
  Bb                 C         
Remember we were the volunteers.        
 
 Bb      Am                   Bb
(Oooooo) Courts knew this and nothing more
          Am                 Bb                F
(Oooooo) Now it's my rights versus yours

F
Under your wheels, your hopeless reign
Am
You fall too hard, we're up too late
   Dm
We hang suspended from the heights
  Bb                C
Until it's safer to walk here

F
Under your wheels, your chance is with
    Am
The easy call, the called-off search
    Dm
The medicine, it still won't work
            Bb                  C      
But there's dangerous levels of it here

 Bb      Am                Bb
(Oooooo) Same thing as the other time
         Am                       Gm
(Oooooo) But now it's your rights versus mine

    Bb                     F           Gm
The truth in one free afternoon
    Bb                     F   
The truth in one free afternoon

C                   Dm
Under my wheels the chance is held
Am                 Bb
Gave me to save me from myself
C                  Dm              Bb                     
Spectacles painted with my shaking hand

C                     Dm
Fingers in paints, in paints we brought
Am                       Bb
Thinking we'd leave them when we're not
C                   Dm             Bb
Flying the flags of new empires in rags

                  Gm
The new empire in rags
    Bb                F
The truth in one free afternoon
                Gm
A new empire in rags
    Bb                F
The truth in one free afternoon
                Gm
A new empire in rags
    Bb                F
The truth in one free afternoon
                Gm
A new empire in rags
    Bb                F
The truth in one free afternoon

F                       
Under your wheels, the fits and starts
    Am
The time to dabble in the arts
   Dm
To tease the packs of dogs in charge
    Bb                     C          
But kid it's all wasted on me

F
Under your wheels, the hope of spring
   Am
Mirage of loss, a few more things
    Dm
The medicine it still won't sing
    Bb                          C
But there's dangerous levels of it here

F              Am
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo             
F                              Am        Gm
Your rights over my rights now
Eb
We came to the right place. 
F                              Am
Your rights over my rights now
F                              Am        Gm
Your rights over my rights now
Eb
We came to the right place.  
F                             Am
Your rights over my rights now

State Of Love And Trust

Intro: F#, D

F#                             D
Pinwheel spark break loose and roll 
E         A           D
where you stop nobody knows 
       E                B
just a thought but gone down 
          D             (Dsus)     D
it's been carved into a point understand 

            A                             F#
turned into someone that you only know 
            D                    E
when you're falling through your clothes 


run run run deep breath then jump 
roll with your vertigo stomp 
now you're clear but gone down 
you've been cleared of every charge understand 

you've turned into someone that you only know 
when you're falling through your clothes

End with A

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
