my sweet lord - george harrison
so long georgeMy Sweet Lord" is a song by former Beatle George Harrison from his UK number one hit triple album All Things Must Pass. Session musicians on the track included Eric Clapton. The song is primarily about God, and features repetitions of the avatars of Lord Vishnu, the preserving god in Hinduism.When released as a single, "My Sweet Lord" topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. In October 1970 Harrison told the British press that it was going to be his first solo single, but a few days later he changed his mind and said it would not be made available thus, as he did not want sales in that format to detract from those of the album. (The other three former Beatles had also released solo albums earlier that year, without releasing a single in Britain from any of them). It was released as a single in the US on 23 November 1970. Within a few weeks, EMI and Apple Records bowed to media and public demand, and the UK release followed on 15 January 1971.Entering the British charts in the first week at No. 7 and then hitting the summit for five weeks, it was the first single by an ex-Beatle to reach No. 1. It did so again in the UK when reissued in January 2002 after Harrison's death from cancer.My sweet lordHm, my lordHm, my lordI really want to see youReally want to be with youReally want to see you, lordBut it takes so long, my lordMy sweet lordHm, my lordHm, my lordI really want to know youReally want to go with youReally want to show you lordThat it won't take long, my lord (hallelujah)My sweet lord (hallelujah)Hm, my lord (hallelujah)My sweet lord (hallelujah)I really want to see youReally want to see youReally want to see you, lordReally want to see you, lordBut it takes so long, my lord (hallelujah)My sweet lord (hallelujah)Hm, my lord (hallelujah)My, my, my lord (hallelujah)I really want to know you (hallelujah)Really want to go with you (hallelujah)Really want to show you lord (ahhh...)That it won't take long, my lord (hallelujah)Hmmm...
