George Harrison — Bangla Desh

[Verse] My friend came to me With sadness in his eyes He told me that he wanted help Before his country dies Although I couldn't feel the pain I knew I had to try Now I'm asking all of you To help us save some lives [Chorus] Bangladesh, Bangladesh Where so many people are dying fast And it sure looks like a mess I've never seen such distress Now won't you lend your hand, try to understand? Relieve the people of Bangladesh [Chorus] Bangladesh, Bangladesh Such a great disaster, I don't understand But it sure looks like a mess I've never known such distress Now please don't turn away, I wanna hear you say Relieve the people of Bangladesh Relieve the people of Bangladesh [Chorus] Bangladesh, Bangladesh Now it may seem so far from where we all are It's something we can't reject It's something I can't neglect Now won't you give some bread? Get the starving fed? We've got to relieve Bangladesh Relieve the people of Bangladesh We've got to relieve Bangladesh [Outro] Now won't you lend your hand and understand? Relieve the people of Bangladesh
