Jealous Guy by JOHN LENNON (Cover)

Jealous Guy is a song written and performed by John Lennon which first appeared on his 1971 album Imagine. It is one of the most commonly covered Lennon songs, with at least ninety-two recorded cover versions by musicians like Donny Hathaway, the Black Crowes, Jeff Tweedy, Peter Criss (of KISS), and Deftones. The most notable of the non-Lennon recordings were by Roxy Music and the Faces. The Roxy Music version was issued as a tribute single in 1981. Elliott Smith's simple acoustic rendering was a frequent part of his live performances, such as his 1998 Washington DC Black Cat show. Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground gave an emotional performance of "Jealous Guy" at the October 2001 Radio City Music Hall New York City show, Come Together: A Night for John Lennon's Words and Music - a tribute to Lennon and the victims of the September 11 attacks. Youssou N'Dour covered the song for Amnesty International's 2007 CD benefit release, Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. [Song info courtesy of wikipedia.com]

Lyrics:
I was dreaming of the past
and my heart was beating fast.
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry.
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure,
you might not love me anymore.
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside.

Repeat Chorus
Solo
Repeat Chorus.

I was trying to catch your eyes,
thought that you was trying to hide.
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I made you cry.
I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy.
I'm just a jealous guy,
I'm just a jealous guy.
