I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Nowhere Man
(Song begins at 1:31)
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Rise Up Singing chapter: Hard Times and Blues, p.103
Chords & lyrics:
He's a real Nowhere Man sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
C G F C / F Fm C - ://
(bridge)
Nowhere Man, please listen you don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
Em F Em F / Em F - G
He's as blind as he can be just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Doesn't have a point of view knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
(bridge #2)
Nowhere Man, don't worry, take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all til somebody else lends you a hand
He's a real Nowhere Man sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
