John Lennon Give Peace A Chance Lyrics Worth $500,000

A Canadian lady who obtained John Lennon's hand written lyrics to Give Peace A Chance back in 1969 from Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel is going to sell her treasure.

Gail Renard was 16 when she managed to sneak into the Lennon's room when they were doing the famous bed-in for peace.

John and Yoko invited the world's media to join them in their honeymoon suite in Toronto, and Gail managed to get in with the media.

John gave her the hand written lyrics for the song 'Give Peace A Chance', which he had just written in the room. She has kept for almost 40 years.

Christies will auction the lyrics on July 10. It is estimated to be worth $500,000.
