Act Naturally (Morrison/Russell) As performed by The Beatles

Verse

They're gonna put me in the movies They're gonna make a big star out of me They'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely And all I gotta do is Act Naturally.

Middle: Well I bet you I'm gonna be a big star I might win an Oscar You can never tell The movies gonna make me a big star 'Cos I can play the part so well.

Verse

We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely And begging down upon his bended knee I'll play the part But I won't need rehearsin' Cos all I gotta do is Act Naturally.

Guitar Solo (play this twice):

Well I bet you I'm gonna be a big star I might win an Oscar You can never tell The movies gonna make me a big star 'Cos I can play the part so well.

Well I hope you come and see me in the movies Then I know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that ever hit the big time And all I gotta do is Act Naturally.
