"Watching Rainbows" is an unreleased song by The Beatles recorded on January 14, 1969 during the massive Get Back sessions at Twickenham Studios. It features John Lennon on lead vocal and electric piano, Paul McCartney on lead guitar, and Ringo Starr on drums; George Harrison had temporarily left the group at this stage of the sessions.

This song, which first evolved from a loose "Mean Mr. Mustard" jam, is available on several unofficial Beatles bootlegs.

It is believed that Lennon shouts "Shoot me!" during the song, but upon closer inspection it is obvious that he is actually shouting "Shoot big!"

This song bears a strong resemblance to I've Got A Feeling, another song from the Get Back sessions.


LYRICS:

Standin' in the garden, waitin' for the sun to shine

Hand my umbrella, with this dirt I wish she was mine

Everybody doves, think a thing; it didn't come

Instead of watching rainbows I'm gonna make a sun

Instead of watchin' rainbows I'm gonna make a sun


Standin' in the garden, waitin' for the English sun to come and make me brown so I can be someone

Lookin' at the bench of next door neighbours

Cryin' to my mom, I'm tryin' to set sabors

Everybody's got to have something hard to hold


Well, instead of watching rainbows under the sun

You gotta get out son, and make you one

You gotta get out son, and make you run

Because you're not gonna make it if you cry cry, though


Shoot big!

Shoot big!


Whatever you do you gotta kill somebody to get what you wanna get


You gotta shoot big!

You gotta shoot big!

Until you shoot big

I can't stand
