Dark horse days and trying times
different music with new sounds
four friends going different ways
no longer wanting to stick around.
From the banks of the Mersey
in the dark streets of Liverpool
young lads with endless dreams
made music for me and you.
Hit the top of the poppermost
hailed by leaders and queens
beloved by an army of fans
the best the world had seen.
They were young while growing old
their band was pulling apart
old friends with different sounds
white album was just about to start.
Eight arms becoming just two
each growing in a different way
the time for change had arrived
new songs, new women, new days.
Yes we were those four lads
think about where it began, yeah
the cavern club started a fad
four guys were paid to play, yeah.
We hit the top of the poppermost(start chorus)
We hit the top of pop, pop, pop
We were the toppermost, yeah

I Am The Walrus was so cool, yeah
George showed us his hope
Here Comes The Sun ruled, yeah.
Ringo rocked out on his drums
always keeping a tight beat, yeah

(repeat chorus)
It was a long time ago in Liverpool
I met Paul thought he was so cool
then came Johnny asked me to stay
picked up my guitar began to play.
We changed the world in every way
sang and laughed, sang and played
we were young and we were fools
but hey man, it was so cool.
Long time ago (start chorus)
long time ago when we were fab
we had our youth
we wanted it all so bad, to be fab.
We were so cool
long time ago when we were fab
we had it all.(end chorus)
The girls came and then they go
all part of our growing show
we did what the world had us do
times were tough, hours were cruel.
we were the Fab Four to you
something we just had to do
we gave our all and now we're old
hope you enjoyed our little show.
Long time ago (start chorus)
long time ago when we were fab
we had our youth
we wanted it all so bad, to be fab.
We were so cool
long time ago when we were fab
we reached the top
we had it all.(end chorus)
Born at 10 Arnold Grove
George Harrison was his name
went to Dovedale road school
very close to Penny Lane.
Next to Liverpool Institute
took his guitar on the bus
had a friend called Paul
said meeting John a must.
From the Rebels to the Beatles(start chorus)
jelly babies falling on his head
smiled while his guitar cried
the quiet Beatle shook his head.
Always expanding his music
dark horse was in his heart
Hare Krishna all the way
gave his love from the start.(end chorus)
George had a Crackerbox Palace
Blue Jay Way and old brown shoes
sang his Here Comes The Sun
I Me Mine, and For You Blue.
Something had our hearts in tears
George had his mind set on you
believed All Things Must Pass
his inner light shined through.
(repeat chorus)
Crackerbox Castle is the place to be
trees and short grass are all around
different colored flowers for all to see
life making it's beautiful sound.
Walk around in the orange and blues
red, yellow, and strawberrys too
hop along the stone and rocks
where the birds sing just for you.
Welcome to Crackerbox Castle(start chorus)
where the sun always shines
where peace and love always grow
the castle that I can call mine.(end chorus)
So take off your shoes and feel life
let the breeze swirl and cool you
rest and sit upon the stone seat
have a cup of tea just we two.
Laugh and talk about good times
it's good having friends like you
sharing lifes little happy things
Crackerbox Castle, me and you.
My castle beneath the old trees(start chorus)
running creek with a splashing sound
nature living together in peace
where beauty and life abound.(end chorus)
They said that I was a dreaming fool(start chorus)
to believe I could get a girl like you
but I did hey hey hey, no more blue.
Your smile made my heart so very shy.
not a cloud, just sun in my sky
just trust in love, now I know why.(end chorus)
Remember when I whispered something
you smiled and told me that you knew
made me feel like the king on the hill
never again would my life be blue.
You have a way of lifting me up
making me feel my best every day
You are my vision of perfection
the love that all want to stay.
(repeat chorus)
There was a day when I wasn't so sure
days I wandered the fields of dreams
days when tomorrow seemed so far away
it was so hopeless, or so it seemed.
But then you walked in with that smile
we talked, and shared, and grew.
love lived in that field of dreams
lasting love for the dreaming fool.
(repeat chorus)
I remember well though I was a child
always trying to do everything right, yeah
trying to please everyone around me
searching for the light.
Grew older seaching from dust to dawn
tried reaching for the light with my guitar, yeah
looking for my fame in center stage
searching for the light.
Oh, but I found it now(start chorus)
and I see just how it gonna be
Oh, I should have known
but I just couldn't see, just didn't believe.(end chorus)
Caught a star, took me to the top
had everything that I ever wanted, right
but something was still missing
searching for the light.
Friends and lovers did come and go
fame wavered as we grew apart, yeah
my life's was in a deep dark hole
searching for the light.
(repeat chorus)
Time is ready for me to close my eyes
the truth is in my reach this time
I can see where I will be going, yeah
I'm heading for the light.
(start chorus)
When you think you made it(start chorus)
made it to the other side
the truth jumps in to grab you
cause there's nowhere to hide.
You can tell you heart one thing
you can believe it to be true
but man the truth can be painful
through the eyes of a foolish fool.(end chorus)
When I was young and still a boy
many voices told me what to do
decided I didn't want to listen
learned early how to be a fool.
Thought life was just for me
could do whatever I wanted to do
didn't worry about causing hurt
just a boy, and a growing fool.
(repeat chorus)
Grew some fat between my ears
fame and fortune came to be
thought I was really something
that the world turned just for me.
Time ran faster than I could
life flew by at a rapid pace
I had grown old and was alone
a little boy with an old face.
(repeat chorus)
Beatles searching for inner peace
went to India to study meditation
seeking out their spiritual side
fab four into the Rishikesh sun.
68 they dropped out to drop in
looking for some peace and quiet
George found more than the others
John thought something wasn't right.
searching for here and there(start chorus)
seaching for the inner-light to begin
searching for that message of truth
searching for the light at the end.(end chorus)
Beatles created many new songs
17 White album tunes so far
the Beach Boys sent Mike Love
Sunshine Superman taught guitar.
Dear Prudence and Mia began to smile
Guru and George found their groove
Ringo yawned, was the first to leave
John next, didn't like Yogi's moves.
(repeat chorus)
(Instrumental)
Went walking with my friends one day
singing, punching, joking around
society shut us down real fast
policeman said to keep it down.
I said hey man we did nothing wrong
why can't you just leave us alone
policeman's finger waved come here
said he would give me a ride home.
But sir policeman I don't need a ride
I said, looking for my friends
but no one seemed to know me
my groovy day was about to end.
Put on my best sheepish face
convinced the man to be nice
said I would join
the human race.
When I find myself in times of trouble(start chorus)
I look around and what do I see
man, everybody is a running
trying to get away from me.
When the flowers start to grow
when the clouds part for the sun
when everything is so groovy
friends come to share the fun.(end chorus)
He said son I have a boy your age
so keep it down and keep it cool
I said I think I can handle that sir
cause man, I ain't nobodys fool.
My friends started coming back
but the smiles had left my face
turned and asked the policeman
for a ride to leave this place.
(repeat chorus)
Welcome all to Friar Park
where lights stay on well after dark
and friends sing songs from the heart
ah yes at Friar Park.
Memories of Sir Franky Crisp
water features and gardens abound
where nuns sang heavenly songs
ah yes, at Friar Park.
Modern studio built for George
in his Crackerbox Palace home
where he made his songs so cool
walked among the garden gnomes.
Where Dhani and Olivia walked
where flowers and love bloomed
where friends and music talked
where the dark horse roamed.
Peter and Harry took good care
of the gardens George had there
fountains and statues to share
ah yes, at Friar Park.
Victorian house in Gothic style
large iron fences for a mile
but never hiding George's smile
ah yes, at Friar Park.
Always living in the shadow
this young guitar playing man
silently learning his skills
in the famous Beatles' band.
They said he was the quiet one
but he really had plenty to say
decided to send his message
in his songs and guitar play.
Dark Horse on the horizon (start chorus)
Dark Horse on the move
Dark Horse in the shadows
Dark Horse in his groove.
Dark Horse always smiling
Dark Horse in the night
Dark Horse until the end
Dark Horse finds his light. (end chorus)
His Concert for Bangladesh
showed the world that he cared
promoted the first concert for aid
did what no other person dared.
While his guitar gently weeped
Something was always on his mind
taught us our souls we should keep
his Here Comes The Sun shines.
He had his mind set on you
showed his heart in My Sweet Lord
sent a message in Taxman too
always hitting just the right chord.
Crackerbox Palace to Old Brown Shoe
George was always part of our life
many friends and Wilburys too
thanks for sharing your Inner Light.
