[D] [Gbm]
[Am] [A]
[D] We are here at Abbey [Gbm] Road Studios, which of course, you know, for [Am] me, whenever I come in here, it's [Bb] just flooded with [G] memories.
[C]
[D] Queenie Eye came from a kids game, a street game we used to play in Liverpool when I was a kid.
There'd be someone at the front and they'd throw a ball over their head and one of us would catch it and then [G] you'd hide it.
And then that person who was kind of Queenie Eye would turn around and have to discover who got the ball.
So we had to say, Queenie Eye, Queenie Eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it.
It isn't [D] in my pocket.
O [G]-U-T spells out.
And you know [A] those kind of things stick [G] with you, [Gbm] you [Gm] know.
So I've always remembered that, but I like the rhythm.
[D] Queenie Eye, Queenie, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it.
It isn't in my pocket.
I've always liked the rhythm of that.
It's a cool rhythm.
It's the story of Queenie Eye.
[Am] I had a little query sort of cleared up for me by [G]
Sir Paul McCartney downstairs [D] where the first time I came here, there's a stand-up, an upright piano, which I thought he had worked on Rocky Raccoon.
[Am] That was the story I'd been given.
So for the last five years, that's been my Abbey Road story.
He told me that was absolute nonsense.
But actually it was Lady [A] Madonna.
[Db] [D] [A] [D] [A]
[G] [A] [Bm]
[Cm] [A] [D] Yeah, I think that might have been the one.
Obviously [Am] it's very exciting to be here at Abbey Road because it's legendary and I've only ever driven past [Bb] it.
Being in that room, [D] especially being in that room with Paul, is, [Am]
yeah, it's quite a rush, you [G] know, because that's the room that changed the world.
[A] [G] [A]
I've got a picture of myself, which I'm going to [D] Instagram of myself with the [A] [Bb] old mixing board.
I could have been at Waitrose, [G] but no, [D] I'm in Abbey Road.
Queenie Eye, Queenie Eye, who's worth it all?
[Gbm] I haven't got it, it isn't in my [Am] pocket.
The very first time we came in here to record properly, we were doing a song called Love Me Do, which was like our first love, love me do, you know I love you.
Very simple first single of ours.
And we came in and we're all a bit nervous and John had the lead line where it stopped and he went, love me do.
But he was also playing the harmonica.
So we go, love me do.
Love me do.
Love me do.
So George Martin came down and he said, John, I wonder if you could just not sing that line and just do the harmonica thing.
He said, one of the other guys can sing it.
He looks at me, he goes, Paul, you can sing it.
And I go, yeah, okay.
I'm thinking, oh my God.
Everything stops and I'm in Abbey Road for the first time ever and I've got to take this lead vocal line.
And I know all the guys back in Liverpool and all the other groups are going to kill me because it's not my line.
It's John's line.
So I can still hear, love me do, when I hear the record.
Please love me do.
[Gbm] Because I'm standing right here, terrified out of my wits, trying to pretend I'm not.
So, you know, the stories go on from there right [Am] through to the [Bb] madness that [G] occurred later in some of the [D] tracks.
But, you know, it's beautiful.
I love it here.
It's a home away from [Am] home for me.
Just because of all the memories.
[A] [Bm] Thanks, Billy.
[A]
[G] Just a ceramic [N] guitar.
[Bb] Beyond [G] cool.
I [D] can't even handle it.
I'm not in there.
I'm so scared [A] to touch it.
[G] [A] [Bb] Stop [G]
[D] being so tall.
I don't know this.
The line on a hard day's night.
[Am]
[Bb] What [G] [C] [D] has it done?
What?
[Gbm] [A] [Am] Woo!
[A] Okay, cool.
Just got it, I think.
[D]
I [G] wish we'd never met before.
[D] I was nervous, but I didn't [G] know what to do.
[D]
To have a [G] collection of masterpieces under your belt, and [D] the fact that he has been doing [E] it for as long as he's been doing [Eb] it, with the passion [G] that he has [B] for it.
It's always new, you know.
It's always new for him.
[Bb] He [D] still gets excited about it.
He's still curious.
There's one, you know.
There's only one of them.
[Gm] You know, Paul is that guy that everyone comes up to him and [G] says, you [D] changed my life.
[G] Can I have my moment with you in my [D] life?
And he did.
He changed all our lives.
Beatles changed our lives.
And he's just so gracious with it.
[Am] It's just some blog from [Bb] Liverpool.
Yeah, I mean, it's [Am] Paul [D] McCartney.
It's a great honour.
I had a great day.
He was amazing.
I felt like I was meeting an old friend.
It was a great day at the [Bb] office, yeah.
[B] The last couple of days [D] have been great, really.
I didn't quite know who would be in it.
People started to show up.
There's Johnny Clare, Alice Heath, James Corden, Meryl Streep.
So it's like it's turning Abbey Road into a little party zone, you know.
[Am]
Which is fine by me.
All from a little [G] street game in Liverpool.
Queeny [C] on it.
