SHAKESPEARE, the Magna Carta - and now some of John Lennon's finest lyrics.
The British Library on Wednesday added to its already formidable collection handwritten lyrics to Beatles' classics "Strawberry Fields Forever," "She Said She Said" and "In My Life."
Although these three songs are legally credited to Lennon and band mate Paul McCartney, the wistful, evocative lyrics are primarily associated with Lennon. The manuscripts and a number of Lennon's letters were donated to the library by Hunter Davies, a Beatles biographer.
