A Hard Day's Night

By John T. Marck

Written by John, and the title by Ringo, it was originally written in part to his son Julian. Initially it contained the words, "But when I get home to you, I find my tiredness is through, and I feel alright." A friend of Lennon's, a London journalist for the Evening Standard named Maureen Cleave said that the word "tiredness" was weak, so Lennon changed it to "I find the things that you do, will make me feel all right." It has an unforgettable opening whereby George Harrison is striking a "G" suspended 4th chord on his 12-string Rickenbacker guitar. It is one of only a few songs by The Beatles that is recognizable in the first two seconds. It is used in the opening of the film.

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog,

it's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

but when I get home to you, I find the things that you do, will make me feel all right

you know I work all day, to get you money to buy you things

and it's worth it just to hear you say, you're gonna give me everything

so why on earth should I moan, cause when I get you alone,

you know I feel okay

when I'm home, everything seems to be right, when I'm home, feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

it's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog,

it's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

but when I get home to you, I find the things that you do,

will make me feel all right, oh!

so why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone, you know I feel okay

when I'm home, everything seems to be right,

when I'm home, feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

it's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog,

it's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log

but when I get home to you, I find the things that you do, will make me feel all right,

you know I feel all right, you know I feel all right
