“It Don’t Come Easy” is a song by Ringo Starr that was released as a non-album single in April 1971. It was produced by Starr’s former Beatles bandmate George Harrison, who also helped write the song, although only Starr is credited. Recording for the track took place in March 1970 at Trident Studios in London, with overdubs added in October. Starr and Harrison performed the song together in August 1971 at Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh shows in New York City, a recording from which was released on the live album of the same name. Starr has continued to perform it in subsequent decades with his All-Starr Band.

Apart from in North America, where “Beaucoups of Blues” had been a single in October 1970, “It Don’t Come Easy” was Starr’s first single release since the break-up of the Beatles. Heavily promoted by Apple Records, the song was a commercial success, peaking at number 1 in Canada and number 4 on singles charts in the UK and the US. It was critically well received on release and remains one of his most popular hits as a solo artist.

Single-ul a fost lansat în Aprilie 1971.  Este o compoziție creditată în întregime lui Ringo, dar a fost ajutat foarte mult la această piesă de către George Harrison. Această melodie a fost primul hit pentru Ringo. De fapt, George i-a dat tot aranjamentul lui Ringo, fără să ceară nici un credit.

Dacă ascultați cu atenție, la solo-ul de chitară se aude în background un “Hare Krishna”, un tribut adus lui George Harrison și hit-ului sau din 1970, “My Sweet Lord”.

Lyrics/Versuri:

One, two,
One, two, three, four!

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

“What’s my name?” Ringo!
“What’s my name?” Ringo!

“Just in case anybody forgot”
