You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

Words & Music by:

John Lennon & Paul McCartney

 

G1     D1    F1      G1    C1                  F   C

Here I stand head in hand, turn my face to the wall.

G1       D1     F1       G1  C1               F   C   D

If she's gone I can't go on, feeling two foot small.

G1   D1    F1     G1    C1             F   C

Everywhere people stare each and every way.

G1    D1       F1       G1 C1              F   C  D  D/C  D/B  D/A

I can see them laugh at me and I hear them say-ay-ay:

 

CHORUS:

G                   C              Dsus4   D   D2   D

Hey!  You've got to hide your love away.

G                   C              Dsus4   D   D2   D

Hey!  You've got to hide your love away.

 

How can I even try?  I can never win.

Hearing them, seeing them in the state I'm in.

How could she say to me love will find a way?

Gather round all you clowns, let me hear you sa-ay-ay:

 

Hey!  You've got to hide your love away.

Hey!  You've got to hide your love away.

 

G   D   F   G   C   F   C   G  

 

Keep the G & D in the upper strings:

G1 = 3 2 0 0 3 3

D1 = x 0 0 2 3 3

C1 = x 3 2 0 3 3

F1 = x 0 3 2 3 3

 

Then break the tension with regular F, C & D chords at end of line.

Use regular chords for chorus.

 

Dsus4 = x 0 0 2 3 3

D     = x 0 0 2 3 2

D2    = x 0 0 2 3 0
