"Give Peace A Chance"-J.Lennon; How much will the lyrics fetch at auction?
Settled as >$800,000
A Montreal-raised TV comedy writer is putting John Lennon's original handwritten lyrics to Give Peace a Chance up for auction at Christie's in London next month.
Gail Renard, now 55 and living in London, obtained the lyrics -- scrawled on a piece of cardboard in black magic marker -- during Lennon's bed-in for peace at Montreal's Queen Elizabeth hotel in 1969.
Renard was 16 when she managed to sneak into the bed-in. She says Lennon took an immediate liking to her and gave her the lyrics himself.
