            G    C9    G                   F              G

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

            G    C9    G                  F               G

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

           C                          D

But when I get home to you I find the things that you do

             G    C9 G

Will make me feel al-right.

 

You know I work all day to get you money to buy things.

And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything.

So why I love to come home 'cause when I get you alone

You know I'll be O.K.

 

         Bm   Em                       Bm

When I'm home everything seems to be alright.

         G     Em                     C      D

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 alright.

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:

 

When IÕm home everything seems to be alright.

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 alright.

           G    C9 G

You know I feel al-right!
