Abbey Road

Paul is Dead Clues

Front Cover Clues

• In the procession across the street, John represents the Preacher (or God), Ringo represents a Pall Bearer (or undertaker), Paul is the Deceased, and George is the Grave Digger.
• Paul's eyes are closed and he is in his barefeet, both representative of a corpse.
• Paul is out of step with the other Beatles - his right foot is forward, the others are leading with their left foot.
• Paul is smoking with his right hand. Paul played the bass as a lefty. This shows that an imposter was brought in for the photograph.
• An ambulance, or a morgue wagon, is parked on the right side of the street.
• The car in the background appears to be headed directly at Paul.
• The VW bug that is parked on the left side of the street has a liscense plate that says '28IF'. Paul would have been 28 when this album was released, IF he would have lived.
• The liscense plate also says 'LMW' which stands for 'Linda McCartney Weeps.' 

Back Cover Clues

• If you connect the dots they form a 3 - the three remaining Beatles.
• There is a crack in the letters that spells 'Beatles.'
• If you turn the album sideways you can see a white skull in the upper left corner.
• The woman that you see on the right edge is Rita, the meter maid.

Back Cover Clues

• Paul is facing backwards, to signify that the man in the photograph is an imposter.
• Paul, George, and John were all about the same height, but in this photo Paul appears higher than the other two. This represents that he is *rising up,* ascending if you will.
• The words "Without You" are coming out the side of Paul's head, from the song title "Within You, Without you."
• George's thumb is pointing to the lyrics "Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock," the time of Paul's death.
• George's (in red) hand makes an L, John's (in green) a V, and Ringo's (in pink) an E. Paul (in blue) is the HOLE where the O would be in the word LOVE.

Lyrics Clues
 

'COME TOGETHER'

"Come together right now over me"
Over Paul's grave.

"One and One and One is Three"
Another reference to three Beatles, not four.

"He got monkey fingers"
The fingers of dead people curl up like monkeys.

"He got hair, down below his knees."
When people die the hair continues to grow.

'SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW'

"So I quit the police department and got myself a steady job"
Explains that William must have been a police officer. This also explains the OPD patch from Sgt. Pepper's.
