John Lennon's hand-written lyrics to his anti-war anthem "Give Peace a Chance" will hit the auction block on  July 10 in London. Christie's auction house will handle the sale of the single sheet of paper and expects it to sell for about 400,000 to 600,000 U.S. dollars (200,000 to 300,000 pounds).  Christie's put the lyrics on display in New York on Wednesday (May 07).         "I think it's certainly one of Lennon's most enduring and most well known compositions, and I think that's exciting for people.  Also, let's not forget the message that he was trying to preach back in 1969 and the fact that that message still endures today and still has relevance to today.  Nothing's changed, really," said Helen Hall, hristie's Head of Pop Culture.         Lennon wrote the song during the Bed-In, a 1969 anti-war protest in which he and Yoko Ono spent eight days in a bed in Room 1742 of Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel, opening their doors to a parade of journalists and political figures.         The lyrics are being sold by Gail Renard, who was a 16-year-old student when she sneaked into Lennon's room in advance of a press conference and asked Lennon for an interview for a university magazine. Renard, who went on to become a television comedy writer, and Lennon struck up a friendship and he handed her mementoes including the lyric sheet, saying, "One day they will be worth something."         Renard, a self-described "Beatlemaniac," once displayed the lyrics in a frame on the wall, then moved them under her bed for fear they might be damaged by a leak. "I really was getting nervous and they went to live in a vault for a while," she said. "And I thought that's ridiculous because nobody is enjoying them now. They became a responsibility. I'd rather somebody else enjoy them."         Lennon recorded "Give Peace a Chance" during the Bed-In and among the 50 or so people singing in the chorus were LSD advocate Timothy Leary and poet Allen Ginsberg.(With inputs from Agencies) ... read more »
