Yer Blues
The Beatles · The Beatles Stereo Box Set [2009]
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
I'm Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
The black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll wanna die
Yeah, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
Yes, I'm lonely wanna die
Yes, I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
Yes, I'm lonely wanna die
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
I'm Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
The black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll wanna die
Yeah, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
Yes, I'm lonely wanna die
Yes, I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
Yes, I'm lonely wanna die
Yer Blues
Released on The Beatles' 1968 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 'Yer Blues' stands as a pivotal track in the band's evolution toward psychedelic rock. The song features a distinctive, repetitive guitar riff that drives its hypnotic rhythm, while lyrics explore themes of existential dread and the burden of fame. Recorded during the height of the group's creative experimentation, the track exemplifies the studio techniques and sonic textures that defined their later work. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to capture a specific moment in music history, influencing countless artists who followed in the wake of the British Invasion.
