             G    Cadd9   G                  F              G
It's been a hard  day's night and I've been working like a dog
              G   Cadd9   G                 F              G
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

            C                                D
So why on earth should I moan 'cause when I get you alone
              G    C9  G
You know I'll feel O.  K.


        Bm    Em                    Bm
When I home everything seems to be right
          G     Em                     C9     D
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah


             G    Cadd9   G                  F              G
It's been a hard  day's night and I've been working like a dog
              G   Cadd9   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 alright     ahhh!
