"Not Guilty" Lyrics

by George Harrison

Original Manuscript on Dark Horse Records Stationery (May 1978)

(1)
N.G. of getting in your way - while you're trying to
steal the Day
N.G. and I'm not here for the rest - I'm not trying to steal
your vest - (do-do-do)
I am not trying to be smart I only want what I can get.
I'm really sorry for your aging head, but like you heard
me said - I'm not guilty

(2)
N.G. for being on your street - getting underneath your feet
N.G. no use handing me a writ - while I'm trying to do my bit
I don't expect to take your heart - I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed - but like you
heard me said - I'm not guilty

(3)
N.G. for looking like a freak - making friends with every Sikh
N.G. for leading you astray - on the road to Mandalay
I won't upset the Apple-Cart - I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you've been misled - but like you heard
me said - I'm not guilty

As Recorded by the Beatles (1968)

Not guilty of getting your way
While you're trying to steal the day
Not guilty and I'm not here for the rest
I'm not trying to steal your vest
I'm not trying to be smart
I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry for your aging head
But like you heard me said, I'm not guilty

Do do do

Not guilty for being on your street
Getting underneath your feet
Not guilty, no use handing me a writ
While I'm trying to do my bit
I don't expect to take your heart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed
But like you heard me said, not guilty

Not guilty for looking like a freak
Making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty for leading you astray
On the road to Mandalay
I won't upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you've been misled
But like you heard me said, I'm not guilty



As Released by George Harrison (1979)

Not guilty of getting your way
While you're trying to steal the day
Not guilty and I'm not here for the rest
I'm not trying to steal your vest, do do do
I'm not trying to be smart
I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry for your aging head
But like you heard me said, I'm not guilty

Ooh ooh ooh

Not guilty for being on your street
Getting underneath your feet
Not guilty, no use handing me a writ
While I'm trying to do my bit
I don't expect to take your heart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed
But like you heard me said, I'm not guilty

Not guilty for looking like a freak
Making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty for leading you astray
On the road to Mandalay
I won't upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you've been misled
But like you heard me said, I'm not guilty
