    [Film Spoken introduction:]

    Yellow Submarine... And we would march till
    three in the day to see them gather there. From
    Land of Goats to Jonah Green we'd step in duty
    trail to see his yellow submarine. We love it




    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines

    So we sailed up to the sun
    Till we found the sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

    And our friends are all aboard
    Many more of them live next door
    And the band begins to play

    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

    As we live a life of ease
    Everyone of us has all we need
    Sky of blue and sea of green
    In our yellow submarine.

    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
    We all live in a yellow submarine, 
    Yellow submarine, yellow submarine



    The instruments were speeded down a half step, so If you want
    to play along while listening to the recording you must tune 
    your guitar a half step down.

    "ON BOARD" SOUND EFFECTS FRAGMENT:
    I suppose no one could be quite sure about what John and Paul
    are meant to be saying here (probably it's some meaningles 
    kind of sea chatter). I'd venture to say it might be something 
    like:


    "Full speed ahead, Mr Boatswain,
     Full speed ahead!"
    "Full speed itteereet is, Sgt!"                   
    "Cut the cable! Drop the cable!"
    "Aye, sir, fire!"
    "Keep it! Keep it!"
