When Ringo buys a rifle 
  
pre-chorus: 
People told him what to say 
Ordered (???) away 
Paul was dubbing Ringo's drumming 
John was dubbing Ringo's humming 
People were starting to talk 
He is one with indoor plumbing 
Paul's still dubbing Ringo's drumming 
He's formed with the NRA 
(???) away 
Rumors are starting to fly 
He let (???) acid dream away 
  
End on D
