A Day in the Life (Hummed Last Chord) (Takes 8, 9, 10 and 11) Lyrics

"A Day in the Life", this is take 8 and it's the choir for the end
Choir!?
8? Okay, 8 beats
Beats then, just like count 8, As soon as you say ommmmmm
Ommmmm
What? You stop on it
Great
Oh, I've got to try one [?], alright
You leave it
Getting a little old, subconsciously [?]
Hm, what's the note?
Mmmmmmmmm
One, two, three, four
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Uh, 8

Take 9
Okay, I think we're ready to do it
Take 9
Isn't that it
Alright
Ready, now [?]
Just check the note
Stop freaking out, mrs

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Okay
Yeah, that was alright, that's alright
Take 10
Quiet
One, two, three, four
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

One, two, three, four
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
