Jealous guy
 

Is it true that John dedicated "jealous Guy" to Cyn? And if so, what did Yoko say? [img]graemlins/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I do think Jealous Guy is written for Cyn because it has the lyrics in there that would work for Cynthia very well. Like "I never met to hurt you" I read in Lennon biography that John had never wanted to hurt Cynthia; he didn't even want to inform her that he wanted a divorce. Jealous Guy was written in India in 1968, so I do believe that it was written for Cyn.

I remember reading that somewhere as well, but I don't really believe it. Writing that song to Cyn would probably hurt Yoko, and he'd never do that...

Jealous Guy was originally called Child Of Nature,written while in India in 1968. It had an entirely different set of lyrics. John re-wrote the lyrics and has said that the song is for Yoko.

Of course he would say it's written for Yoko; Yoko was his wife at the time. But the lyrics just doesn't seem to be Yoko-ish. Yoko seems to be the one who doesn't cry easily. The song seems more Cynthia-ish. Just read the lyrics and decide for yourself then. I think it's for Cynthia, but that's my opinion.

A little off topic..... I absolutely love the version of Jealous Guy on the John Lennon Anthology. There's just something appealing about that gorgeous, full piano sound.

When John sings "0h no " does he mean "Ono" ?
