Tomorrow Never Knows chords
C
CTurn off your mind, relax and float down stream,
It is not Bbdying, it is not CdyC7ing?
CLay down all thought, surrender to the void,
Is it Bbshining? Is it CshinC7ing?
CThat you may see the meaning of within
It is Bbbeing, it is CbeC7ing
CLove is all and love is everyone
Is it Bbknowing? Is it CknowC7ing?
CThat ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is beBblieving, it is beClievC7ing?
But Clisten to the colour of your dreams
It is not Bbliving, it is not ClivC7ing
COr play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beBbginning, of the beCginnC7ing
Capo III
C= A  
Bb= G

The story behind the song

This song was inspired by John Lennon's experiences with LSD and a book titled The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The lyrics draw directly from the book, particularly the idea that the "ego death" experienced under psychedelics mirrors the dying process, requiring similar guidance. It's a journey into a state of total awareness, or samādhi, as known by Eastern mystics. Released as the final track on their 1966 album Revolver, the song pushed the boundaries of pop music, incorporating avant-garde techniques and Indian-inspired sounds. Playing it is like stepping into a mind-altering soundscape.
