“It Don’t Come Easy” is a song by English musician Ringo Starr that was released as a non-album single in April 1971. Apart from in North America, where “Beaucoups of Blues” had been a single in October 1970, it was Starr’s first single release since the break-up of the Beatles. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number 1 in Canada and number 4 in both the US and UK singles charts.

The recording was produced by Starr’s former bandmate George Harrison, who also made an uncredited contribution as a composer. Starr performed the song with Harrison at the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971 and it has remained one of his most popular hits as a solo artist.

Lyrics

It don’t come easy
You know it don’t come easy
It don’t come easy
You know it don’t come easy
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don’t come easy
You don’t have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Open up your heart, let’s come together
Use a little love
And we will make it work out better
I don’t ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don’t come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don’t come easy
Peace, remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach
If you’re big enough to take it
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don’t come easy
You don’t have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Peace, remember peace is how we make it
Here within your reach
If you’re big enough to take it
I don’t ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don’t come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don’t come easy
