1. No Reply (Lennon/McCartney)
nc F G7 C6
This happened once before, when I came to your door. No reply.
They said it wasn't Fyou, but I saw you peep G7through, your Cwindow.
I saw the Amlight. EmI saw the Fmaj7light.Em
I know that you saw Dm7me, 'cause I looked up to G7see, your Cface.
I tried to teleFphone, they said you were not G7home. That's a C6lie.
'Cause I know where you've Fbeen, I saw you walk G7in, your Cdoor.
I nearly Amdied. EmI nearly Fmaj7died.Em
'Cause you walked hand in Dm7hand, with another G7man, in my Cplace.
If I were you, I'd E7realize, that AI.
Love you Dmmore, than Fany other Cguy.
And I'll forgive, the E7lies, that AI.
Heard beDmfore, when you Fgave me no reCply.
I tried to teleFphone, they said you were not G7home. That's a C6lie.
'Cause I know where you've Fbeen, I saw you walk G7in, your Cdoor.
I nearly Amdied. EmI nearly Fmaj7died.Em
'Cause you walked hand in Dm7hand, with another G7man, in my Cplace.

The story behind the song
"Beatles For Sale" is the title track from the Beatles' fourth studio album, released in 1964. This album marked a shift from their earlier upbeat sound, partly due to the band's demanding schedule during the peak of Beatlemania. The recording sessions saw the band exploring new techniques like fade-ins and guitar feedback, and they also began incorporating more introspective lyrics, influenced by their meeting with Bob Dylan. Playing this song connects you to a moment of transition for the Beatles, capturing the intensity of their global fame while hinting at their evolving artistic depth.
